Lichenometry—a method developed by geologists for dating Holocene moraines and other landforms—has many potential applications in archaeology. Maximum-diameter lichenometry can suggest ages for features that were initially lichen-free, such as th

In September, 2006, we found the remains of timber-sized spruce trees ( Picea engelmannii) on the floors of melting ice patches at altitudes of 3465—3480 m in the Mummy Range of north-central Colorado. The ice patches occupy northeast-facing recess

A field experiment was conducted in the Front Range of the Colorado Rocky Mountains to test the hypothesis that lichen age-size curves differ in shape because an inherently sigmoidal growth pattern is interrupted at different stages in its developmen

Measurements of phenocryst relief in 1-m2 quadrats placed randomly on southwest-facing granodiorite outcrops exposed by late Pleistocene deglaciation of a high-altitude Front Range col suggest that weathering is strongly influenced by snow. Depending

Forty plant species and groups of related species were identified as potential food sources in the alpine tundra and subalpine forest of the Colorado Front Range. Emergence, flowering, and ripening schedules were monitored from 1994 to 2004, a period

Surface horizons of many alpine soils on Quaternary deposits in high-mountain settings are enriched in silt. The origin of these particles has been debated, particularly in the Rocky Mountain region of North America. The most common explanations are

Stone fences and blinds built by prehistoric hunters to gather and ambush elk and bighorn sheep above timberline in the Colorado Front Range are similar in concept and function to structures built by the Copper Inuit and their predecessors for huntin

Shallow soil cores from 56 localities along the crest of the Colorado Front Range were processed by water flotation and wet sieving, then examined for wood charcoal and charred conifer-needle fragments. Charred particles were largest and most numerou

Studies in the Front Range of north-central Colorado have shown that sclerotia of Cenococcum geophilum, a common ectomycorrhizal fungus, are larger beneath spruce-fir-forest and tree-island vegetation than beneath tundra grasses and herbs. The presen

Radiocarbon dates from prehistoric campsites and game-drive systems were used to develop a 3000-yr chronology of human population change at high altitude in the Colorado Front Range. Populations in...
