A Comparison of the Lithic Assemblages from the Shavano Springs site (5MN40) and Christmas Rock Shelter (5DT2), Western Colorado (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Delaney Cooley.

Archaeologists have long struggled to identify archaeological material diagnostic of prehistoric and protohistoric Ute occupation in the Rocky Mountains and surrounding areas. Despite continued efforts, researchers continue to rely principally on William Buckles’ (1971) seminal work examining Ute cultural continuity on the Uncompahgre Plateau of western Colorado. My research expands on Buckles’ 45 year-old dissertation by re-examining two excavated sites from his project: the open occupation...

DOCUMENT Citation Only Elizabeth Dresser-Kluchman.

This poster reports on an archaeological survey in the Rio Grande Del Norte National Monument that has revealed important new evidence of the Ute and other hunter-gatherers dating to the late pre-colonial and early colonial periods. Of particular interest are a series of culturally modified Ponderosa pine trees, which are likely linked to Ute foodways employed during period of starvation or want. I examine these culturally modified trees as artifacts on the landscape within the context of the...
