From Chris Johnston at Paleocultural Research Group: Paleocultural Research Group (PCRG) is a member-supported nonprofit that carries out public archaeology projects in the Great Plains and Southern Rocky Mountains. PCRG investigations use state-of-the-art field and lab techniques to study human communities and their relationships to the natural environment, from North America’s earliest American Indian inhabitants to nineteenth-century traders and settlers. PCRG broadly disseminates the findings of its projects to professional and public audiences through public lectures, interpretive media, and technical reports, raising awareness of Plains and mountains archaeology and fostering preservation of those regions’ unmatched archaeological resources. PCRG also trains undergraduate and graduate anthropology students in archaeological field and lab methods. Recent PCRG projects in Colorado have investigated high-elevation camps and lithic quarries in the San Juan Mountains; Late Prehistoric stone enclosures in the San Luis Valley; culturally modified ponderosa and bristlecone pine trees; and an Old Spanish Trail-era camp.
