One purpose of the survey <br /> <br />will be to attempt a further definition of ti1is material, its classifi- <br /> <br />cation and its placement in the prehistoric chronology of the Western <br /> <br />rhine . <br /> <br />This same region east of the hOcky .;ountains has long been <br /> <br />noted for the evidence it contains relating to the antiquity of man in <br /> <br />North iunerica. ;,.uch material of the !"OlSOill Culture has been found, <br /> <br />and this is dated at prior to 10,000 B.C. .terial belonging to the <br /> <br />Yuma Culture, v:hich is probably somewhat more recent, has also been <br /> <br />found. Finely chipped bVdes or points of the c;den Yuma type have been <br />found around the Cherry Creek deservoir site (also c:illed the Sullivan <br /> <br />dam site). Indications of the iolsom eulture have been seen along the <br /> <br />South ~latte Reservoir sites, between Denver and Deckers, and along <br /> <br />the NDrth I'Dr:, of the South Hatte in the vicinity of the Shalmee <br /> <br />Reservoir sita. No material which could be definitely assigned to the <br /> <br />FolsDm or Yuma Cultures has as yet been fOWld fro,n the three reser- <br /> <br />voir sites on the Arkansas drain, ge, but !,'olsom material has been re- <br /> <br />pDrted frDm surrounding areas. fhe survey which will be continued in <br /> <br />the ensuing montils may discover h.2.terial of this nature. In the area <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />of Graneros ReservDir, bet-"een rueblo area "alsenburg, milling stones <br /> <br />have been founC: _chich suggest the possibility th~,t f-eople of the <br /> <br />Sulphur Spring stage of the Cochise Culture once lived as far north <br /> <br />as this, perhaps 10,000 years ago. The Cochise Culture has so far <br /> <br />been defined only in southern Arizona and its earliest stages are felt <br /> <br />by SOllIe tD be as old as the Folsom Cul~ure. <br /> <br />45 <br />
