NEW ROCKY ARROYO TIPI SITE |
It is difficult to determine how large this site might have been originally. Now a single tipi ring is in evidence but the area around the site has been bulldozed. This site provides an example of how archaeologists are not recognizing these features as cultural and, as a result, they are being destroyed. |
This tipi ring is 2.20 m in interior diameter. Locally available cobbles and boulders have been placed around the perimeter of the feature. No evidence of a hearth or other features are present. A light flaked-stone scatter is situated 2 meters to the west of the ring which consists of four flakes, both biface thinning and core reduction flakes of gray chert. |
