About This Book
Located in a small saddle on the summit of Rosillo Peak, this open prehistoric campsite was repeatedly occupied by hunters and gatherers over several thousand years, beginning in the latter half of the Early Archaic period. Surface and excavation data indicate that the most substantial site occupations were during the Middle Archaic period. The spectacular location, in combination with an unusual artifact content, implies a special, possibly ritual, function for this site.
