Predictive site location models are designed to highlight regular patterns behind human behaviors. Inconsistencies in modeled behavior provide for better understandings of the full range of human adaptation to a landscape. In 2010, we initiated a predictive model based survey of the Sand Wash Basin in Northwestern Colorado. The Sand Wash Basin is an area of extensive chert outcrops that have been used throughout prehistory. Results of the survey highlight differential use areas that may be structured by proximity to habitation base camps. The ground truthed model creates a more complete picture of prehistoric occupations in the Sand Wash Basin and represents the most recent and comprehensive study of the basin as a cultural landscape
