  • Boggsville Reconnaissance Study, History, and Evaluation of Significance Bent County, Colorado
    National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior Boggsville Reconnaissance Study, History, and Evaluation of Significance Bent County, Colorado Thomas O. Boggs December 2012 Boggsville Reconnaissance Study, History, and Evaluation of Significance Bent County, Colorado Background his reconnaissance study was prepared by the National Park Service (NPS) at T the request of U.S. Representative Cory Gardner (CO), who asked the NPS to evaluate Boggsville, Colorado, as a potential new unit of the park service.1 Boggsville, which is in Bent County, Colorado, is a 39-acre historic district that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986; that nomination determined that Boggsville had a state level of significance. The purpose of the NPS reconnaissance study was to determine if Boggsville also met NPS criteria for national significance. If deemed nationally significant, Boggsville could then be further considered as a National Historic Landmark, or as a potential unit of the NPS. The primary contributing buildings at Boggsville include the Thomas O. Boggs home and the John W. Prowers house. The Pioneer Historical Society of Bent County acquired Boggsville in 1985. The site consists of 110 acres of land, of which 39 acres are associated with the Boggsville settlement. Thomas Boggs Home - NPS Photo, Greg Kendrick The history and evaluation of national significance was prepared by historian and PhD candidate Steven C. Baker, under the supervision of Dr. Ralph Mann, associate professor, Department of History, University of Colorado Boulder, working in cooperation with the Heritage Partnerships Program of the NPS Intermountain Region. 1 Cory Gardner, Member of Congress, House of Representatives, letter to Jon Jarvis, Director, U.S.

  • Chapter Three
    CHAPTER THREE Prehistoric and Protohistoric Overview of the White River Badlands Badlands Historic Resource Study • July 2006 • John Milner Associates, Inc. ______________________________________________________________________________________ CHAPTER 3 PREHISTORIC AND PROTOHISTORIC OVERVIEW OF THE WHITE RIVER BADLANDS White River Badlands as an Archeological Region The South Dakota State Plan for Archaeological Resources identifies 24 archeological regions within the state, 10 of which occur on the west side of the Missouri River.1 The White River Badlands archeological region includes all areas drained by the White River. As defined by Winham and Hannus, the eastern portion of the region also includes areas drained by the Bad and Little White rivers, and the northwest part of the region is drained by the South Fork Cheyenne River. The White River Badlands archeological region, which includes portions of Shannon, Pennington, Jackson, Bennett, Todd, and Mellette counties, is generally considered a sub-region of the Northern Plains. Although several cultural histories of the Northern Plains have been written, few have been prepared from the perspective of the Badlands. Rather, the White River Badlands are considered tangential to events occurring on the High Plains to the north, south, and west, or the Middle Missouri region to the east. By necessity, the prehistoric overview presented below represents a synthesis of previous studies within the White River Badlands archeological region, the Northern Plains region, and to a lesser extent the Middle Missouri region. The information presented in this chapter is primarily based on Hannus et al., but it also draws heavily from books and reports prepared by others.2 The purpose of the overview is to present a synthesis of the cultural context, time periods, site types, and cultural groups that occupied the study area during the last 12,000 years.

  • 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.

  • The Nature of Prehistory
    The Nature of Prehistory In Colorado, mountains ascended past clouds and were eroded to valleys, salty seas flooded our land and were dried to powder or rested on us as freshwater ice, plants rose from wet algae to dry forests and flowers, animals transformed from a single cell to frantic dinosaurs and later, having rotated around a genetic rocket, into sly mammals. No human saw this until a time so very recent that we were the latest model of Homo sapiens and already isolated from much of the terror of that natural world by our human cultures' perceptual permutations and re­ flections. We people came late to Colorado. The first humans, in the over one hundred thousand square miles of what we now call Colorado, saw a landscape partitioned not by political fences or the orthogonal architecture of wall, floor, and roadway, but by gradations in game abundance, time to water, the supply of burnables, shelter from vagaries of atmosphere and spirit, and a pedestrian's rubric of distance and season. We people came as foragers and hunters to Colorado. We have lived here only for some one hundred fifty centuries-not a long time when compared to the fifty thousand centuries that the Euro­ pean, African, and Asian land masses have had us and our immediate prehuman ancestors. It is not long compared to the fifty million cen­ turies of life on the planet. We humans, even the earliest prehistoric The Na ture of Prehistory 3 societies, are all colonists in Colorado. And, except for the recent pass­ ing of a mascara of ice and rain, we have not been here long enough to see, or study, her changing face.

Mark was a co-champion in 2001 and now has three solo championships in a row. Gary Fogelman and Ray Strischek, both former world champions, are second and third with scores of 96X and 94XX, respectively. Dennis Lantz is fourth and Douglas Bassett is fifth. Both had scores of 94X but Dennis won the tie by throwing more tens. Thomas Hohn of France won sixth place with a score of 93X. Mike Waters threw 92X for seventh place and Jack Rowe won eighth place with a 92. Terry Keefer won ninth place with 91XX. It is good to see the two time world champion back in the top ten. Doug Leeth completes the top ten for the men with a score of 91. Melissa Dildine repeats as this year’s world champion of the women’s division with a score of 89. Melissa has three previous world championships and has dominated the women’s division in much the same way that Mark Bracken has dominated the men’s division. JoAnne Fogelman, the 2004 champion, is second 1 with an 85. Lori Majorsky, the 2001 champion, won third with 84X.

This period is seen through a glass darkly: Paleo-Indian sites are few and scattered, and the material from these sites consists almost entirely of animal bone and stone tools. Available information from Paleo-Indian times documents hunting of several animals that became extinct in North America at the end of the Pleistocene, spectacularly skilled stone working by artisans who made beautifully crafted stone tools (especially spear points), and the beginning of a reliance on bison hunting that persisted on the Great ​ Plains for 10,000 years.

  • PRE-EUROPEAN CULTURAL RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN the PLAINS and SOUTHWEST REGIONS Robert Blasing Department of Anthropology Wichita S
    3 PRE-EUROPEAN CULTURAL RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN THE PLAINS AND SOUTHWEST REGIONS Robert Blasing Department of Anthropology Wichita State University Wichita, Kansas INTRODUCTION The purpose of this paper is to bring together the wide ranging bits of information concerning contact between the people living in the Plains Region and those living in the Southwest Region of North America. Although a precise boundary dividing the Southwest from the Plains cannot be drawn, the break between the subsistence patterns and major cultural trends of each area is quite evident. As Wedel (1950:106) points out, "so far as archeology is an indica­ tion, there is surprisingly little direct evidence of Pueblo in the material culture of subsistence economy of the historic Plains Tribes." Contact and influence between areas can take many forms. It could be migration of an entire population, movement of a single individual carrying cultural traits, trade, dif­ fusion brought about by simple contact and awareness of how another group does things, warfare such as conquest or raid­ ing or by competition and population pressure between groups. A major effect might also be seen through movement of an individual who transmitted one of the decimating diseases introduced by the Europeans. To identify where and to what extent any of these factors are operating is very difficult with the present state of knowledge. Again to quote Wedel (1950:100) "the area is vast! the time span long! and the available information still far too sketchy and uneven." With this in mind! the direction of this paper will not be to evaluate the exact nature of contact, but instead to show what evidence is available, and what general trends and changes over time can be identified.
