Archaeological testing conducted at the Deer Creek site, 48BH18, investigated four areas of the canyon bottom. Based on the results from this testing, it is believed that the site contains at least two bison kills, an open habitation area and an occupied rock shelter. The rock shelter is known to contain deposits ranging in age from the Late Prehistoric period (ca.1890 B.P.) to the late Paleoindian period (ca. 7730 B.P.). Although the exact age of the bison kills is unknown, they are believed to date from the Late Prehistoric period. The bone beds appear to have been influenced only slightly by stream action and carnivore activity but the bone in Area B of the site seems to be much more disturbed. The primary activities carried out in Area C and Area D appear to have been the trapping, killing and primary disarticulation of the bison. No large processing areas were found in excavation. The Deer Creek site is considered to be a significant archaeological property which is eligible for nomination to the National Register of Historic PIaces.
