1 The CAS Surveyor Newsletter of the Colorado Archaeological Society Spring Meeting Update By Jason LaBelle, 2009 CAS State President Hello CAS members I hope you are having a great spring and getting ready for some summer fun! In this newsletter, I wanted to provide you a brief update on Society business from our last quarterly meeting in Alamosa, held in early April. For the second year in a row, we held our CAS spring quarterly on the same weekend/location as the annual meeting of the Colorado Council of Professional Archaeologists (CCPA). This overlap provides a great opportunity for CAS members to take in a bunch of interesting posters and papers on Colorado archaeology (this year, many were focused on work in the San Luis Valley), as well as go on field trips and socialize with professional archaeologists from around the state. I certainly hope this shared meeting continues into the future and that CAS participation continues to grow. We held our quarterly meeting on Saturday afternoon, covering a variety of business issues, as noted elsewhere in this issue. Lately we ve had a tough time drawing Chapter Representatives to our quarterly meetings overlap with the CCPAs was thought to be a good incentive, but travel in the winter/spring can certainly pose a problem. Please chat with members of your Chapter to make sure that your issues are represented at the quarterly meetings, and that news from these meetings makes it back to your Chapter as well. CRAA Annual Symposium May The Colorado Rock Art Association (CRAA) will hold its annual Symposium in Cortez, Colorado, May 15-17, Registration will be open on Friday afternoon and there will be a wine and cheese reception at the Anasazi Heritage Center in Dolores (8 miles northeast of Cortez) from 4-6 p.m. Guests will have access to the museum and music will be provided by a local Ute Indian artist.

4 The CAS Surveyor Page 4 CAS ADVISORY BOARD TO STATE ARCHAEOLOGIST Archaeological Activity Summary Reports, 2nd Quarter 2009 SCIENTIFIC (SURVEY, TESTING, EXCAVATION, LAB): Denver Blackfoot Cave - There are 3 grids still being excavated around the cave and 4 grids in the site on the mesa above the cave. Materials found to date include 3 types of pottery, Woodland projectile points, ground stone, chopper, drill, and several scrapers and utilized flakes. This winter materials from the summer season are being curated at the Douglas County repository. We have submitted a SHPO Grant proposal to obtain funds for carbon dating. The plan for next field season is to do some testing around the site, open another grid in the midden since materials continue to be found a 1 meter depth and more room is needed to continue the excavation deeper. West Bijou - Last summer about 1/2 section was surveyed. In addition site 5AH4 was re-surveyed (almost complete). The resurvey discovered a previously unreported Midland Paleo- Indian projectile point and a McKean projectile point. In addition the base of a second Midland or Goshen point was reestablished (previously reported) and over 70 other artifacts were recorded, including 1 sherd of cord wrapped pottery. Next summer the crew will finish the resurvey and at least another 1/2 section. Jon Kent and some of his students and members of CAS will be working this winter to combine the survey results to date and make some preliminary evaluations. These will be provided in a talk to CAS in fall of 09. Swallow Site - Analysis of the artifacts has been completed and the writing is progressing. Several groups are working on the various sections of the report. Hisatsinom Hisatsinom members began a new survey season at the Larson Site west of Cortez completing about 2000 feet of transect this past week and recording one site. The site was about two acres in size and had 401 flakes, 29 flaked tools (including two point bases) and 20 gray ware sherds. There were two vertical stone slab features. One appeared to be a circular cist and the other about a 7-meter diameter circle with 5-6 large vertical stones with poor alignment. This survey is expected to continue on a weekly basis through Fall. Chapter members contributed to data analysis and compilation for the Mitchell Springs report writing for OAHP. Pikes Peak Phil Williams is corresponding with Matt Mayberry regarding a survey of Coral Bluffs, east of Colorado Springs. Phil will be looking for volunteers once arrangements have been made to begin the survey. The grant proposal will probably go through UCCS / Roche Lindsey. Rock Art Dr. Loendorf will have a rock art training session in late April. PUBLICATIONS / REPORTS: Rock Art E.J. Ranch project report is still pending. CURATION ISSUES: Rock Art Members have surveyed the recently acquired Rudolph rock art slide collection at CHS. There is very little duplication with the CRAA Rudolph collection at our archives in Ft. Collins. This is a huge project, with no decision on where we go from here! SITE STEWARDSHIPS; Rock Art Members in the Craig area are working on site stewardship in Vermillion Canyon. VANDALISM AND COMPLIANCE ISSUES; Rock Art 77 oil and gas leases were dropped from a December auction in the area of 9 Mile Canyon. CROSS-ORGANIZATION INTERACTIONS; Denver Several Chapter members have been participating in Kevin Black s lab at Lowry. The Blackfoot Cave project (survey, excavation and lab work) are done in cooperation with the Douglas County Historical Society. Bijou Creek survey is in conjunction with Metro State University s Jon Kent and his archaeology students. Several members are volunteers at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. Indian Peaks Strengthened communications with the Department of Anthropology at CU Boulder with listing Indian Peaks CAS Programs and speakers in the Hale Herald, a weekly bulletin within the department. The last 2 programs have had a larger than normal turn-out of students (15-20). Pikes Peak The chapter had a field trip to the Western Museum of Mining and Industry. They observed a portrayal of Augusta Tabor and participated in an Edwardian Tea. Pueblo Several members are also members of the Colorado Rock Art Association and are helping with the upcoming Rock Art Conference in May. PAHS remains a member organization of the Southeastern Colorado Heritage Center. Three PAHS members serve on the SCHC board and PAHS maintains an exhibit in the SCHC Museum. In conjunction with the Pueblo Zoo and the Rawlings Public Library, PAHS is sponsoring a presentation on Dogs of the Southwest in May as a Heritage Month activity. (Continued )

5 The CAS Surveyor Page 5 PUBLIC EDUCATION / OUTREACH: Denver Publicity for the Chapter s monthly meetings has been spotty so attendance has been up and down. One of the planning items for 2009 is to increase publicity and increase public awareness of our organization. Pikes Peak Pat Williams is working with Bridget Hollingsworth to prepare a program to present in May to the school that Bridget s son attends. This event occurs during Colorado Archaeology and Historic Preservation month. Pat has also received a request from Sand Creek Elementary for another Archaeology Education Day. The Fountain Nature Center has requested 2 short archaeology related programs in June and July. The chapter s education kits continue to get better with new additions. Hisatsinom May Preservation Month speaker is Chuck Riggs (Fort Lewis College) Identity and Community Organization at the Pigg Site This site is adjacent to Lowry Pueblo (Montezuma County), and is being dug this last summer & this coming one. Pueblo In conjunction with the other organization members of the SCHC, PAHS members assist with tours of the museum and with the educational trunk program. Rock Art Plans for the symposium in Cortez (May 15-17) have been finalized. A program for Cortez school children is planned for Friday afternoon. Registration will be Friday evening 4-6 PM, with a wine/cheese/entertainment reception at the Anasazi Heritage Center. Saturday will be the presentation of papers at the Cortez Conference Center on various rock art subjects. Nineteen presenters are signed up. Banquet on Saturday evening with Dr. Marvin Rolus as the speaker. Sunday will be field trips with choice of Mesa Verde, Canyon of the Ancients, Ute Mtn. Tribal Park, Cottonwood Wash, or Mouth of Butler Wash. More details on the CRAA website. OTHER: Hisatsinom There is a proposal for 8 toxic waste ponds and 2 pits adjacent to Hovenweep/Canyon of the Ancients/Painted Hand Pueblo (Montezuma County). They could potentially affect not only air, water & soil quality in the area, but also threaten important cultural resources. Submitted by Linda Seyfert Advisory Committee Chair Special Indian Peaks CAS Program May North Park Archaeological Excavations and Paleoenvironment Reconstruction Research Results Presented by Dr. Bob Brunswig and Dr. Fred Sellet University of Northern Colorado Thursday, May 14, 2009 at 7:00 pm CU Museum of Natural History Boulder Campus, 1035 Broadway, Boulder Reception Following The University of Northern Colorado completed its fourth field season in Colorado's North Park Valley in Work concentrated on two sites: 5JA1183, several miles southeast of Walden and 5JA421, several miles northeast of that town. Excavations at both sites expanded previous test excavations by the university. 5JA1183, known from earlier investigations to contain Late Paleoindian (Cody), Early Archaic, Middle Archaic, Late Archaic and Early Ceramic cultural occupations, produced several intact Early Archaic hearth and faunal processing features, along with assorted lithic tools, an unusual, complete Early Archaic projectile point, and several new radiocarbon dates. 5JA421, an extremely rich and extensive multicomponent site, produced closely time-spaced camp and foodprocessing occupations spanning successive, seasonal occupation spanning one and two centuries in length from ca rcybp. Ceramics recovered from the site's latest Late Prehistoric occupations suggest a Ute cultural affiliation and obsidian flake source analyses show connections with Yellowstone National Park. Other discoveries from 5JA421's surrounding drainage valley included an Early Archaic campsite wi th an intact, radiocarbon-dated metate slab-lined hearth and a Late Prehistoric (ca rcybp) hearth buried in a spring-fed fen upstream of 5JA421. Geomorphologic and paleoenvironmental studies of 5JA421 and its local area were conducted to initiate the process of placing it, other local sites and its surrounding landscape in geological and paleoclimatic historic context. This Archaeology and Historic Preservation Month Event is supported by a grant from the Colorado Archaeological Society. There are vacancies on the 2009 Summer PAAC Training Survey to be conducted June 16-23, 2009 in the Antelope Gulch area, northeast of Salida.

6 The CAS Surveyor Page 6 CAS Canoe Trip 2009 The Colorado Archaeological Society is pleased to offer another fundraising river trip for Join us for this threeday trip to enjoy the water and archaeology of western Colorado. This years trip is on the Colorado River and includes a rock art hike in McDonald Creek Cultural Resource Area. The Colorado River Date: June (Fri-Sun), 2009 Cost: $335 adult, $280 child (age 6-16) Level: Beginner/Intermediate This trip starts from Fruita, Colorado (about 13 miles west of Grand Junction) and covers a 30-mile stretch of the Colorado River to Westwater, Utah. This spectacular canyon country of the Colorado Plateau, including Ruby and Horsethief Canyons, features majestic walls of red sandstone and offers some of the best paddling in Colorado. The river is gentle with occasional small Class I+ rapids to add spice to the journey. Roads do not bound this portion of the river and the steep-walled canyons are accessible only from the river, giving the area a true wilderness setting. You ll be amazed at stands of shiny granite sculpted by water through the ages while paddling or floating in your lifejacket past the remnants of ancient metamorphic rock called Black Rock. Camping along the river s banks, exploring a natural amphitheater with ancient Indian rock art or hiking into deep box canyons will leave you awed by the immensity of geologic time and the silence of the wilderness. The CAS trip includes a hike in McDonald Canyon to view rock art in the BLM McDonald Creek Cultural Resource Management Area. How to Sign Up Centennial Canoe Outfitters ( will provide all safety equipment, river guides, canoes and great food. Cost of the trip is $335 ($280 for children ages 6-12), of which $50 is donated back to CAS for the Alice Hamilton Scholarship Fund. You will need to bring a sleeping bag, tent and basic personal supplies. The trip is limited to 24 participants, so sign up early to reserve your place. A deposit of $100 per person must accompany your reservation request (Visa and Mastercard accepted), and the balance is due by May 12. For further details and to register for the trip, contact Centennial Canoe Outfitters, (toll free) and be sure to tell them whether you are a CAS member. CAS Hosts: Tom and Terri Hoff, tthoff@hotmail.com, Spring Update continued from Page 1 One of the important issues we have been working on is in regards to liability insurance for CAS and the Board of Directors at the State and Chapter levels. This issue was brought to the attention of the State Board by members of the CRAA chapter. CAS currently does not have liability insurance, but we are working on acquiring insurance to protect us from liability issues related to both the day-to-day operations of the Society as well as special events such as field trips. This is not a new issue to CAS, past boards have considered acquiring liability insurance, but the current board sees the necessity of acquiring such coverage in the immediate future. Tune in for future developments in regards to this important issue. Have a great summer and let s hope to see each other at the next quarterly meeting in Durango!
