Summary "A decade's worth of archaeological research conducted at Mountaineer, a Paleoindian campsite in Colorado's Upper Gunnison Basin. Extensively excavated, long-term Folsom occupations with evidence of built structures. The site provides a record of stone tool manufacture and use offering insight into adaptive strategies from a region in a waning Ice Age"-- Provided by publisher
