Rueter-Hess Digs Parker Water and Sanitation is seeing costs climb for the archaelogical excavations and review at the sight of the new Rueter-Hess reservoir, according to the Denver Post [August 19, 2005, "Prehistoric dig at dam site running out of time, money"]. From the article, "Amid the weedy expanse that soon will become this growing town's reservoir, Erik Gantt and his archaeological crew are fighting a battle against time. The group from Fort Collins-based Centennial Archaeology Inc. was invited to Douglas County nearly a year ago to investigate findings that ancient people lived at the creek site southwest of Parker for thousands of years, building homes, creating artistic objects and hunting food. But budget overruns due to time-consuming discoveries on the Rueter-Hess Reservoir land have prompted the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to ask that archaeologists abandon the 6,500-year-old site early next month."
