AbstractEden and Scottsbluff points and Cody knives were found in situ in a sand deposit with an estimated geological age of 10,000 to 7000 years. Numerous other Cody complex artifacts from the surface of the site are described. Fragmentary remains of a mammoth in a marl bed are stratigraphically older than the Cody artifacts.

AbstractArtifacts related to the Cody complex occur in medium-grained sand that is spread as a blanket eolian deposit a few feet thick in the Claypool site area, Washington County, Colorado. The artifact-bearing sand lacks noticeable dunal topography and lies unconformably on marl of Yarmouth age and on waterlaid coarse sand and fine gravel of Kansan age that underlie the marl. The deposits underlying the artifact-bearing sand are much too old to date the artifacts precisely, but the physical characteristics of the artifact-bearing sand suggest that it was deposited under conditions cool and dry, rather than warm and dry, possibly during retreat of Valders ice that began about 10,000 years ago. A moderately mature Brown Soil about 5 feet thick developed on the sand, possibly about 7000 to 5000 years ago during a moist phase of the Thermal Maximum. Thus, the artifacts are possibly 10,000 to 7000 years old. Deposits which overlie the artifact-bearing sand reflect several episodes of erosion and sedimentation that are inferred to represent climatic changes.

The area around Cody in northwestern Wyoming is extremely rich in archaeological sites. One of these, the Horner or Sage Creek site, is now well known as the locus of the Cody complex, a varied group of “Yuma” implements dated about 5000 B.C. (Wormington 1957: 127-8). Extensive tipi-ring sites have been found on the tributaries of the South Fork of the Shoshone River and in other locations near Cody. These so-called tipi rings are perhaps related to those of the Boysen Reservoir in west central Wyoming (Mulloy 1954a). There are also indications of hunting camps of the Crow, Shoshone, and Ogalalla Sioux whose trails met here in protohistoric and early historic times.
