Cedar Point Village
Cedar Point Village is an archaeological site located in Elbert County, Colorado near Limon. It is a prehistoric residential site with artifacts of the Dismal River culture and likely inhabited by early Apachean people.
Cedar Point Village, declared "the most spectacular Dismal River site in Colorado," was a small village with 7 round houses. The village was connected to the Dismal River culture through the Dismal River type of pottery and the side-notched, triangular and unnotched projectile points.
The site was excavated in 1952 by Herbert W. Dick, curator of the University of Colorado museum from 1949-1953. When Dick left his position at the museum, Joe Ben Wheat led the excavation.
