LoDaisKa site
History
9
LoDaisKa is a rockshelter archaeological site near Morrison, Colorado, in a distinctive foothills setting between the Great Basin and Great Plains that helps explain its wide cultural connections. Occupied from about 3000 BC to at least AD 1000, it preserves an unusually long record from the Paleo-Indian period through the Archaic and into the Middle Ceramic period, reflecting major shifts in lifeways over time. Excavations identified five complexes and recovered hides, plant remains, wood artifacts, ochre, and seed-storage cists. The site also became central to debates over Front Range cultural sequences, and its early excavations strongly influenced later archaeological interpretation in the region.
