{"product_id":"the-mountaineer-site-brian-n-andrews-9781646423095","title":"The Mountaineer Site: A Folsom Winter Camp in the Rockies","description":"\u003ci\u003eThe Mountaineer Site\u003c\/i\u003e presents over a decade's worth of archaeological research conducted at Mountaineer, a Paleoindian campsite in Colorado's Upper Gunnison Basin. Mountaineer is one of the very few extensively excavated, long-term Folsom occupations with evidence of built structures. The site provides a rich record of stone tool manufacture and use, as well as architectural features, and offers insight into Folsom period adaptive strategies from a time when the region was still in the grip of a waning Ice Age. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Contributors examine data concerning the structures, the duration and repetition of occupations, and the nature of the site's artifact assemblages to offer a valuable new perspective on human activity in the Rocky Mountains in the Late Pleistocene. Chapters survey the history of fieldwork at the site and compare and explain the various excavation procedures used; discuss the geology, taphonomic history, and geochronology of the site; analyze artifacts and other recovered materials; examine architectural elements; and compare the present and past environments of the Upper Gunnison Basin to gain insight into the setting in which Folsom groups were operating and the resources that were available to them. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The Folsom archaeological record indicates far greater variability in adaptive behavior than previously recognized in traditional models. \u003ci\u003eThe Mountaineer Site\u003c\/i\u003e shows how accounting for reduced mobility, more generalized subsistence patterns, and variability in tool manufacture and use allows for a richer and more accurate understanding of Folsom lifeways. It will be of great interest to graduate students and archaeologists focusing on Paleoindian archaeology, hunter-gatherer mobility, lithic technological organization, and prehistoric households, as well as prehistorians, anthropologists, and social scientists. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eContributors: \u003c\/i\u003e Richard J.
