Do you know about the Lindenmeier site in northern Colorado?

Dr. dig responds:
The Lindenmeier site does exist! The Lindenmeier site is a National Historic Landmark and no doubt your National Park Service will have more detailed information about Lindenmeier that they will be happy to send you.

The Lindenmeier site is a Folsom site that flourished between 9,000 and 8,000 B.C.- in fact it is the site for which Folsom or Lindenmeier projectile points are named. The Folsom culture is characterized by well-developed fluted projectile points. The use of the atlatl, or throwing board, also began with this culture.

In America, the oldest identified assemblage (group) of beads comes from the Lindenmeier site in Colorado. The beads were divided between the Denver Museum of Natural History and the Smithsonian in Washington.

The Lindenmeier beads are especially interesting because of their variety. One must have traveled at least 550 miles (880 km) to reach the site, and that is in a straight line.

Perhaps you might like to contact the Denver Museum of Natural History to see if they have further information about your site.

I hope this gives you a bit of information to get you started in finding out more about Lindenmeier, which is a most important, though not very well known site in Colorado.
