This publication represents the first portion of the Craig District's Class I overview for archaeology. Over the last several years, Craig District, beginning with the Little Snake Resource Area, developed an overview system that contains an extensive computer database, a compilation of site data, and a narrative overview. This document is that narrative. In it, Halcyon La Point explores the pre-history of the Little Snake area, while also compiling data that has heretofore, been largely scattered. The primary contribution of this work is the consolidation of much data into a highly readable and coherent synthesis of the pre-history of northwestern Colorado.
