Excavations at Cowboy and Walters caves in southeastern Utah in the mid-1970s uncovered an assemblage of unfired clay artifacts unlike any previously described types. Analysis of these clay artifacts in 1994 demonstrated that some of them were manufactured during the Early Archaic period. The unfired clay figurines from the Early Archaic deposits at these sites have been assigned to a new type called Horseshoe Shouldered figurines. These unfired anthropomorphic figurines are the earliest figurines in the Southwest, and have a suspected time range of 5600 to 5000 b.c
