LoDaisKa Site, Archaeological site in Morrison, Colorado.
The LoDaisKa Site is an archaeological dig location in the Rocky Mountain foothills where researchers found evidence of ancient occupation beneath and beside a large rock shelter. The terrain shows the landscape these early inhabitants knew and used for survival.
People returned to this location repeatedly over more than 4000 years, making it a place of long-term occupation. The finds show that different groups arrived across different periods and adapted their way of life across the centuries.
The site shows how early communities lived with nature and built shelter within the rocks. The finds here reveal the daily lives of these people, what they ate, and how they adapted to their environment.
The location is accessible from a nearby road and sits in terrain that is easy to walk through. Since the site is protected, visitors should stay on designated paths and move carefully to avoid disturbing any artifacts.
