Peak to Peak in Paleoindian Time: Occupation of Southwest Colorado

Abstract

One-hundred and sixty-six Paleoindian projectile points from suiface contexts in southwest Colorado are documented, analyzed, and evaluated in terms of existing models of Paleoindian adaptation to the Rocky Mountain environment. The southwestern Colorado projectile points—morphologically and in terms of raw material use—appear to share much in common with mountain traditions defined for other Rocky Mountain regions, and there is some basis for pursuing the notion that the roots of this mountain tradition may lie to the west, in the Great Basin.
