Over two years now I've been riding my bicycle out along the many miles of bike trails of the northern Colorado front range to a place I've discovered as a place of occupation. Most of what I found has been the various pieces of material that was used and a small amount of actual finished blade artifacts a mano and some kind of artifact that was used for it's abrasive properties. In this spot I'm picking everything as you can get an idea of where the material may have come from and it's my idea that it has been brought in from some of the Rockies and others from as far east as Kansas and maybe some chalcedony, known as Flat Top chalcedony. This spot I'm sure was for the most a high planes people site and a place they could easily describe to each other as where they are going to be or going to, by traveling from the North Platte River up the the various creeks to this hilltop, overlooking where two small creeks come together. From this site they could access hunting grounds that run up and down the front range of the Boulder valley all the way to almost Golden Colorado, but all that's now completely covered up now with massive development and I can only picture in my mind what it all may have looked like long ago. In my recent visit I found a weird looking piece of Jasper flint with a strange looking pattern in it. I've never seen anything like it and wonder if it could possibly be tided to a source where this type of material could be found?. It looks as if it was something like a plant that had fossilized into Jasper, much as some petrified wood would would have done.
