Résumé

The best known of the eastern Colorado Folsom sites is Lindenmeier (Site 5LR13), located 22 mi (35 km) northeast of Fort Collins. At the Lindenmeier site, Folsom period people demonstrated a reliance on a wide range of faunal species, in addition to Bison antiquus. Those species included pronghorn, rabbit, fox, wolf, coyote, and turtle (Wilmsen and Roberts 1978). Complementary studies of the Indian Creek site in southwest Montana expanded the Folsom faunal diet to include bighorn sheep, marmot, cottontail, prairie dog, medium-sized artiodactyls, and various rodents (Davis and Greiser 1992).
