Archaic and Paleoindian Houses in the Southern Rocky Mountains

Summary

This is an abstract from the "More Than Shelter from the Storm: Hunter-Gatherer Houses and the Built Environment" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

A series of archaeological structures ranging in date from Folsom (10,400 RYBP) to Middle Archaic (3000 RYBP) have been excavated in a high mountain valley in central Colorado. These prehistoric residences show temporal changes in architecture and artifact assemblages which hint at variability in social and technical organization. An apparent Folsom community structure/lithic workshop and residences provide contrast to the later simple Archaic structures.
