The Extreme History Project: The Dirt on the Past

Pictograph Cave with Tim Urbaniak


Listen Later

Join us as we talk with Tim Urbaniak about his new book, Men of the Cave: The Excavation of Empty Gulch. We discuss the 1937 archaeological excavation of Empty Gulch, now known as Pictograph Cave State Park. This project was financed by the Works Progress Administration (WPA) and employed a group of men, and one woman, to excavate this significant archaeological site. We discuss the key players including Oscar Lewis, William Mulloy, Mel Sayre, and others involved in this excavation. We also talk about the importance of the artifacts documented by Oscar Lewis and his team and what the artifacts can tell us about the people who lived in Pictograph Cave. If you would like a copy of this book, please contact Tim Urbaniak at [email protected]. A BIG thank you to the Museum of the Rockies for sponsoring this episode of The Dirt on the Past.
