The skeletal remains of an adult male individual from the 14TO301 site was analyzed to the extent allowed by the condition of the bony skeleton. In addition to the skeleton, one cultural object, a boatstone, is described and utilized in order to provide a rough date for the skeletal material. The cultural material is identified as Woodland and is compared w1th other Woodland material in the region. The results of the skeletal analysis compare favorably with other single male variables in the same or near region of roughly the same time period. The material also however, corresponds favorably with earlier archaic material from Colorado. The analysis of the skeletal and cultural material expands our knowledge of the distribution of the Woodland period in the high plains. Non-metric analysis is included in the analysis of the skeletal material
