A Crescent Biface from Southeastern Utah

ORCID Icon &
Pages 204-206 | Published online: 29 Jan 2020
 

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 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.
