Unearth a Story during High Plains Library District's Summer Reading Adventure!⚡️🏰👑🐴⚡️

05/07/2026

It all started…
…in the outskirts of Littleton, Colorado where the Lamb Spring site was discovered by Mr. Charles Lamb in 1960 while digging a stock pond at the site of a natural spring. He found several large bones that were identified by geologists with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) as the remains of mammoth, horse, camel and bison. Dr. Waldo Wedel (Smithsonian Institution archeologist) and Dr. Glenn Scott (USGS geologist) then excavated the site in 1961 and 1962. They found the bones of at least five mammoths, one of which was radiocarbon dated as slightly older than 13,000 years, suggesting that the animals visited the spring at the end of the last Ice Age.

Cameron Randolph, President of Lamb Spring Archeological Preserve, will talk about the history of the site from discovery to distant future, along with historical review of the Late Pleistocene Megafauna (~15K ya) and Paleo-Indian life (~10K ya) of the Douglas County area.
