The Ice Age Peopling of Northern Colorado: Current Research Around the Lindenmeier Folsom Site, a National Historic Landmark. Join us at 7:00 p.m. for this illustrated program by archaeologist Jason LaBelle of Colorado State University (CSU), who will detail 12,000 years worth of Native American prehistory along the Colorado Front Range. Dr. LaBelle will also discuss the results of CSU's ongoing research program of the Soapstone Prairie and Red Mountain Natural Areas in northern Larimer County, Colorado. The properties contain abundant archaeological sites, from the internationally famous Lindenmeier Folsom site, a National Historic Landmark, to the Lykins Valley site, an important contact era (AD 1800-1820) camp in the adjacent valley. Newly identified sites are being incorporated into this landscape project, identifying patterns of settlement and resource use through the diverse ecological communities of the Great Plains, Foothills, and Rocky Mountains, which are all found closely bundled along the northern Front Range. In addition to teaching and research, Dr. LaBelle is president of the Colorado Archaeological Society and director of the Laboratory of Public Archaeology. He has published articles in American Antiquity, Archaeometry, Current Research in the Pleistocene, Geoarchaeology, Plains Anthropologist, in addition to book chapters and technical reports in the academic and contract realms. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.
