PAAC Survey in the Pawnee Buttes Area An Archaeological Survey of Selected Tracts in the Pawnee Buttes Region, Weld County, Colorado by Kevin D. Black Principal Investigator with a contribution by Aaron V. A. Theis for the Colorado State Board of Land Commissioners Eaton, Colorado Sponsored by History Colorado Office of the State Archaeologist of Colorado Program for Avocational Archaeological Certification Denver, Colorado Colorado State Permits #2012–50, 2013–16, 2014–10 May 2017 Abstract During the 2012–2014 field seasons, an archaeological survey was conducted in dispersed portions of northeastern Colorado as part of the training available in the Program for Avocational Archaeological Certification (PAAC). The project thus depended heavily on the efforts of volunteers, most of whom are members of the Colorado Archaeological Society (CAS) already enrolled in PAAC, supervised and trained by the Assistant State Archaeologist from History Colorado. The inventory was completed on just under 1,500 acres of state trust lands in four separate tracts in the vicinity of the Pawnee Buttes in northern Weld County, Colorado. These four parcels cover a range of open grassland settings along four different drainages: Geary Creek, North Pawnee Creek, South Pawnee Creek, and Wild Horse Creek, all at elevations of 1,450–1,634 m (4,765–5,360 feet). This area was intensively surveyed in part to train the 46 PAAC volunteers in archaeological inventory and mapping methods, but also to gather data on the archaeological record of state-owned lands adjacent to Pawnee National Grasslands properties in a part of Weld County witnessing intensive oil and gas development in recent years. As a result of the survey a total of 52 sites and 77 isolated finds (IFs) were recorded for the first time, and one other previously documented site was formally re- recorded. Both American Indian and non-Indian resources are well-represented in that total. Historic period non-Indian sites comprise a mix of artifact scatters, concentrated trash dumps, and domestic sites primarily related to ranching and farming, especially in the 1910–1935 period. The somewhat more common prehistoric sites are mainly open lithic scatters lacking diagnostic tools, but a majority of those containing diagnostics (solely projectile points; ceramics are absent) date to the Early Ceramic period. Limited evidence for more ancient Archaic and more recent Middle Ceramic period activity was found. Features on project area sites are not common but include artifact concentrations, ground depressions, and a few fire- cracked rock (FCR) concentrations. No spaced stone enclosures (“tipi rings”) were encountered, although many such sites are known from the wider region. Burial of archaeological materials is most likely to occur in alluvial deposits along the courses of the four main streams and their larger tributaries. However, sites on the rolling plains and hills above the drainages may also contain some shallow buried remains. Overall, human occupation of the project area has been less intense than in some nearby prairie settings, for a variety of factors. Still, four sites have been evaluated eligible for the National Register of Historic Places based solely on surface evidence, and 13 others are potentially eligible pending the availability of additional information such as from test excavations. ii Table of Contents Page # Abstract ................................................................................................................................... ii Management Information Form ........................................................................................ v List of Figures ....................................................................................................................... ix List of Tables ........................................................................................................................ xii Acknowledgements ............................................................................................................ xiii Introduction ........................................................................................................................... 1 Effective Environment......................................................................................................... 6 Physiography and Topography .................................................................................. 6 Geology and Geoarchaeology .................................................................................... 9 Soils and Vegetation................................................................................................... 11 Fauna ............................................................................................................................ 14 Climate .......................................................................................................................... 15 Environmental Constraints ...................................................................................... 17 Existing Data and Literature Review ............................................................................... 18 PBS Land Records ..................................................................................................... 27 Statement of Objectives ..................................................................................................... 32 Methods................................................................................................................................. 34 Results.................................................................................................................................... 38 The Sites ....................................................................................................................... 38 South Pawnee Creek Parcel .......................................................................... 38 Wild Horse Creek Parcel ............................................................................... 54 North Pawnee Creek Parcel ......................................................................... 63 Geary Creek Parcel ......................................................................................... 70 iii The Isolated Finds...................................................................................................... 78 South Pawnee Creek Parcel .......................................................................... 79 Wild Horse Creek Parcel ............................................................................... 85 North Pawnee Creek Parcel ......................................................................... 90 Geary Creek Parcel ......................................................................................... 93 Observations on the PBS Data .............................................................................. 100 Chronology and Cultural Affiliation ......................................................... 100 Site Types and Features ............................................................................... 103 Settlement Patterns ...................................................................................... 110 Material Culture ............................................................................................ 112 Evaluations and Recommendations .............................................................................. 120 Summary and Conclusions .............................................................................................. 123 References Cited ................................................................................................................ 127 Appendix I, Project Data Tables .................................................................................... 141 Appendix II, Modeling Prehistoric Settlement ..........................

  • Revitalizing the South Platte River from the Source to the City: Transformation Through Collaboration
    Revitalizing the South Platte River from the source to the city: transformation through collaboration. The South Platte River Urban Waters Federal Partnership (SPRUWP) strives to protect one of Denver’s primary sources of drinking water, while supporting ongoing on-the-ground projects, education, and research, and facilitating a growing population’s connection to its urban waterways. The South Platte River is an invaluable resource for drinking water, recreation and economic development, both upstream and within Denver. This partnership ties together the many uses of the river and seeks to connect citizens to their water source, by incorporating on-the-ground projects, education, and research. Approach: Our interdisciplinary partnership focuses on our common desired outcomes while advancing our individual missions. The result? A holistic approach that not only benefits local water resources, but also improves and strengthens the community as a whole. Focus: Regional Water Quality, Water Protection, and Water Awareness Mission: The South Platte River Urban Waters Partnership collaborates across jurisdictions and disciplines to engage communities, and to protect and restore the South Platte River from the headwaters to the Denver metropolitan area (Colorado) and watershed. Goals • Collaborate, educate and engage • Connect people with water • Protect and restore through leveraging resources • Communicate achievements and share technical information Strategies: • Developing Regional Information Resources (best management practices; water quality data, public health data related to South Platte River and tributaries) • Regional messaging for behavioral change • Advance an interconnected network of ecological and green infrastructure for healthier waterways and for social and economic gains to adjacent communities • Protect forests that provide drinking water supply • Creation of Short Term, Mid Term and Long Term Priority Programs and Projects The first phase of SPRUWP (1.0) went from June 2011 to December 2012, and was co-led by EPA and the US Forest Service (USFS).

    Space and Social Structure in the A.D. 13th Century Occupation of Promontory Cave 1, Utah by Courtney D. Lakevold A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Anthropology University of Alberta © Courtney D. Lakevold, 2017 ABSTRACT Promontory Cave 1, located on the north shore of Great Salt Lake in northern Utah, has yielded many extraordinary archaeological artifacts that are amazingly well-preserved. Promontory phase deposits in Cave 1 are extremely thick, and rich with perishables and other material culture. Bison bones, fur, leather and hide processing artifacts have been recovered at the site, in addition to gaming pieces, basketry, pottery, juniper bark for bedding, knife handles, ceramics and moccasins. A large central hearth area, pictograph panels, pathways and entrance and exit routes have also been identified. Bayesian modeling from AMS dates indicates a high probability that the cave was occupied for one or two human generations over a 20-50 year interval (A.D. 1240-1290). Excavations have taken place at the cave from 2011-2014 by an interdisciplinary research team with members from the University of Alberta (Institute of Prairie Archaeology), the Natural History Museum of Utah (NHMU), Oxford, the Desert Research Institute and Brigham Young University. The extraordinary preservation and narrow time frame (A.D. 1240-1290) for the occupation of Promontory Cave 1 on Great Salt Lake allow for unusual insights into the demography of its Promontory Culture inhabitants. This thesis looks at the cave as a humanly inhabited space and examines what the Promontory Culture group may have looked like in terms of population size and group composition, and how they used or organized space in the cave.
