Dolores Archaeological Program Technical Reports, DAP-36.9: Site 5MT2857

Author(s): Nancy J. Hewitt

Year: 1982

Summary

Site 5MT2857 is an Anasazi limited activity site located approximately 8 km northwest of Dolores, Colorado. The site was tested during the 1979 field season as part of the Dolores Project Cultural Resources Mitigation Project. Field operations, limited to surface collection and removal of the plow zone, were conducted during September of 1979 by a University of Colorado crew. No cultural features were identified at the site, hence it was designated a locus of limited activities. Since the artifactual remains recovered were sparse it is not possible to determine what specific activities took place at the site. Ceramics recovered from the site indicate an occupation between A.D. 600-900 (Sagehen Phase and Early McPhee Phase). Nearby hamlets have been dated to the Sagehen Phase, so it is presumed that Site 5MT2857 was utilized by members of the surrounding community. This community has been defined as the Milhoan community in Dolores Archaeological Program Spatial Systematics.
