The site was investigated in archeology study in 1969 and 1970. The site shows association with the Great Basin culture, with northwestern Great Plains culture, and with Rocky Mountain culture. Its earliest occupation was deemed to be approximately 7000-3500 years ago, relative to the 1970s, and it was believed the rockshelter was inhabited continuously into the 1800s.[3]
