Settlement Survey of the Fort Carson Military Reservation
A sample survey of Fort Carson Military Reservation was conducted to provide a research-oriented data base for management of archeological resources. Most of the recovered materials represent Late Archaic, Plains Woodland, Late Prehistoric, and historic groups; often in multi-component situations. Prehistoric sites are most dense in topographically diverse and ecologically complex situations. Historic sites are generally restricted to environmental regimes most suitable for farming/ranching activities. A clear settlement pattern difference is seen between open grasslands and timbered hills. For prehistoric sites, this difference is supported by resource zonation, and differential activities as reflected in artifact assemblages. Frequent re-use of prehistoric settlement locations, and a lack of significant differences in temporal component distributions among ecozones, suggest a relatively high degree of stability from about 1000 b.c. to A.D. 1500. A predictive model of site types, locations, and densities is presented with manpower estimates for guidance of project planning.
