ABSTRACT
Crescent bifaces are one of the most enigmatic stone tool types in North America. While these artifacts are poorly understood, they are widely known from sites throughout a core area consisting of the Great Basin and California. Here, we report on one of the eastern-most crescents from southeastern Utah, which is also the only crescent currently documented from the northern Colorado Plateau.

We thank Tracy Murphy and Bridget Ambler at the Canyons of the Ancients Visitor Center and Museum, and the Bureau of Land Management for facilitating this research. We also acknowledge the tireless work of public servants who are dedicated to the protection of cultural resources. Without the hard work of such folks, looted artifacts such as the Cerberus crescent would be forever lost. Finally, we thank Ted Goebel (editor of PaleoAmerica), Bonnie Pitblado, and an anonymous reviewer for their comments and suggestions that greatly improved the quality of this paper.
