USA – Brownscanyonvista Browns Canyon - President Barack Obama designated three new national monuments Thursday, including Browns Canyon in Colorado. Humans have inhabited the canyons, rivers, and backcountry forests for over 10,000 years, a statement based on artifacts dating back more than 10,000 years found in the Browns Canyon area, although most resources have yet to be surveyed or recorded. Of those that have been surveyed, there are 18 archaeological sites were identified, including five prehistoric sites eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. Primarily seasonal camps, these sites include open campsites, culturally modified trees, wickiups, tipi rings, chipped stone manufacture and processing sites, a possible ceramic pottery kiln, and rock shelter sites that date from early Archaic Period and possibly Paleo-Indian Period – around 8,000 to 13,000 years before present. These dates make these among the earliest known sites in the region.
