While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of "sectioning" the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For illustrations that cannot be satisfactorily reproduced by xerographic means, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and inserted into your xerographic copy. These prints are available upon request from the Dissertations Customer Services Department. 5. Some pages in any document may have indistinct print. In all cases the best available copy has been filmed. University Microfilms International 300 N.

In this study, a number of analytic techniques are applied to a moderately large collection of Bison remains. Using information about the spatial distribution of bone, the representation and modification of skeletal parts, and the population structure of the Bison cohort; the nature, organization, and context of bison procurement and processing activities are reconstructed.

GRIFFIN The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan The following is a list of dates obtained since the compilation of List XI in December 1965. The method is essentially the same as de- scribed in that list. Two C02-CS2 Geiger counter systems were used. Equipment and counting techniques have been described elsewhere (Crane, 1961). Dates and estimates of error in this list follow the practice recommended by the International Radiocarbon Dating Conferences of 1962 and 1965, in that (a) dates are computed on the basis of the Libby half-life, 5570 yr, (b) A.D. 1950 is used as the zero of the age scale, and (c) the errors quoted are the standard deviations obtained from the numbers of counts only. In previous Michigan date lists up to and in- cluding VII, we have quoted errors at least twice as great as the statisti- cal errors of counting, to take account of other errors in the over-all process. If the reader wishes to obtain a standard deviation figure which will allow ample room for the many sources of error in the dating process, we suggest doubling the figures that are given in this list. We wish to acknowledge the help of Patricia Dahlstrom in pre- paring chemical samples and David M. Griffin and Linda B. Halsey in preparing the descriptions. I. GEOLOGIC SAMPLES 9240 ± 1000 M-1291.

  • Thesis Prehistoric Land Use, Site
    THESIS PREHISTORIC LAND USE, SITE PLACEMENT AND AN ARCHAEOLOGICAL LEGACY ALONG THE FOOTHILLS OF THE COLORADO NORTHERN FRONT RANGE Submitted by Caitlin A. Holland Department of Anthropology and Geography In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Master of Arts Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Spring 2021 Master’s Committee: Advisor: Jason LaBelle Mary Van Buren Jared Orsi Copyright by Caitlin A. Holland 2021 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT PREHISTORIC LAND USE, SITE PLACEMENT AND AN ARCHAEOLOGICAL LEGACY ALONG THE FOOTHILLS OF THE COLORADO NORTHERN FRONT RANGE This research takes place in the Colorado Front Range foothills in Northern Colorado. Previous artifact collections were recovered in past decades from sixty-six prehistoric sites and isolated finds within a bounded geographical area that includes the Dakota and Lyons hogbacks west of the city of Loveland in Larimer county. The first part of this thesis presents the artifact collections used in this analysis of Edison Lohr (1947), Lauri Travis (1986; 1988), Calvin Jennings (1988), and the work of the Center for Mountain and Plains Archaeology (2015-2017). The second part of this thesis explores the cultural chronology of the region and that of the study area. The study area reflects mostly the ephemeral behavior of indigenous groups along with small diverse activity sites that date between the Folsom period and Protohistoric era, with most sites dating between the Early Archaic and the Early Ceramic periods. Environmental variables that could have played a role in indigenous settlement and mobility patterns are evaluated, such as desirable raw material used for grinding tools.

  • Examination of the Owens Cache in Southeastern Colorado
    EXAMINATION OF THE OWENS CACHE IN SOUTHEASTERN COLORADO by THADDEUS HARRISON SWAN B.A., Fort Lewis College, 1999 A thesis submitted to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Colorado Colorado Springs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts Department of Geography and Environmental Studies 2019 © 2019 THADDEUS HARRISON SWAN ALL RIGHTS RESERVED This thesis for the Master of Arts degree by Thaddeus Harrison Swan has been approved for the Department of Geography and Environmental Studies by Brandon Vogt, Chair Thomas Huber Stance Hurst Date: May 8, 2019 ii Swan, Thaddeus Harrison (M.A., Applied Geography) Examination of the Owens Cache in Southeastern Colorado Thesis directed by Associate Professor Brandon Vogt ABSTRACT Throughout North America, caches are recognized as an important feature type in prehistoric research. Unlike other site or feature types, the materials associated with these assemblages are not a result of discard, breakage during manufacture, or accidental loss, but represent a rare window into prehistoric toolkits where usable items within various stages of manufacture are stored for future use. In addition, cache locations and the raw material source locations of the feature contents can assist with research questions regarding mobility and settlement/subsistence strategies (among others). However, many caches have been removed from their original context either through disturbance or discovery by non-archaeologists, who unwittingly destroy the context of the find. In other instances, archaeologists discover cache locations that are largely disturbed by erosion or lack the organic or temporal-cultural diagnostic artifact traits necessary for placement in a chronological framework, which greatly restricts the interpretive value of these assemblages.

  • 2010 Introduction and Key
    History Colorado Colorado Historical Society State Historical Fund All Grants Awarded Through Fiscal Year 2010 INTRODUCTION AND KEY This report is a list of all grants awarded by the Colorado Historical Society’s State Historical Fund (SHF) since its inception in 1992 (state Fiscal Year 1993) through the end of Fiscal Year 2010. The amounts listed are the original award amounts. If for some reason the entire grant amount was not used (i.e., a project was terminated or was completed under budget) the full amount awarded will appear. In other instances grant awards were increased either to enable project completion or to cover the costs of easements. In these instances, the additional award amount is shown in a separate entry as an increase. In those cases where no work was accomplished and the funds were either declined by the grant recipient or were required to be returned to the SHF through rescissions, no entry will appear. For this reason, projects listed in one version of this report may not appear in later versions, and the financial information shown in this report may not be comparable to other revenue reports issued by the SHF. Grants listed in this report are identified by project ID number. The first two characters in the project ID number represent the fiscal year from which the grant was scheduled to be paid. The state is on a July 1 – June 30 fiscal year. So, for example, all grants made between July 1, 2009 and June 30, 2010 will be coded “10”. The next two characters identify the type of grant.

Zier) Colorado Department of Transportation Project No. NH 0242-040 All Work Performed under the Terms and Conditions of State of Colorado Archaeological Permit No. 2008-44 March 2009 ABSTRACT At the request of CH2M Hill, Centennial Archaeology, Inc. conducted a Class III archaeological inventory of the 3.73-mile segment of U.S. Highway 24 between Interstate 25 and Manitou Springs in El Paso County. A standing structures survey of the project area has been undertaken separately, and therefore the Centennial survey focused on archaeological remains only. The width of the survey corridor varied between 280 ft and 1600 ft. The total Area of Potential Effect (APE) was 476.3 acres, although actual survey acreage was just 30.25 because much of the project area is disturbed and did not warrant inspection. Land status within the project boundaries is a combination of private and State of Colorado. One isolated find, consisting of a single prehistoric artifact, was recorded in the course of the inventory. It is assessed as not eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. No further work is recommended, and archaeological clearance is recommended for the entire APE. ii
