Sisyphus Shelter
Sisyphus Shelter is an archaeological site that was uncovered in Colorado when the Colorado Department of Highways was working on I-70. The excavation of this site became a joint project between the Colorado Department of Highways and the Bureau of Land Management. Fieldwork on the site was completed in 1980. Archaeologists John Gooding and Wm. Lane Shields as well as many others completed the excavation and prepared a comprehensive site report. Over the course of the fieldwork on Sisyphus Shelter, twenty-six features of human origin were discovered as well as numerous stone artifacts and two perishable items. The artifacts appeared to be all Late Archaic in origin. Dating indicated a range of occupations from modern times to 4400 B.P. being the oldest sample. Gooding and Shields (1985) suggest that the occupations of the shelter were not consistent and affected by seasonal changes.〔“Sisyphus Shelter”. Cultural Resources Series Number 18. Bureau of Land Management. p.iv〕
==Location==
Sisyphus Shelter was found because the purposed realignment of westbound I-70 put the interstate directly through the site. Sisyphus Shelter is a rockshelter made up of two individual shelters with a natural enclosure of fallen rocks. It is located in Garfield County, Colorado, in the Grand Valley about halfway between Rifle and Grand Junction.〔Gooding and Shields(1985).“Sisyphus Shelter”. Cultural Resources Series Number 18. Bureau of Land Management. p.3〕 Gooding and Shields (1985) note that a reference point was used to measure an elevation of 1570.3 m (5151.9 ft) above sea level.〔“Sisyphus Shelter”. Cultural Resources Series Number 18. Bureau of Land Management. p.3〕 Two of the nearby dominant features are Battlement Mesa and the Colorado River. Battlement Mesa is approximately 11.2 km (approximately 7 miles) to the southeast of the site and the Colorado River is about 1.5 km (approximately .9 mile) to the southeast. Gooding and Shields used two nearby archaeological sites for comparison. These were the DeBeque Rockshelter, another rockshelter like Sisyphus Shelter, and Kewclaw Site, an excavated open pithouse.〔Gooding and Shields (1985).“Sisyphus Shelter”.
