Jason LaBelle is an archaeologist who specializes in the study of foragers, also known as hunter-gatherers. He is interested in different aspects of their organization, including subsistence, mobility, seasonal aggregation, camp layout, and food sharing. LaBelle's research focuses on the pre- and post-contact Native American cultures of the Intermountain West, primarily within the state of Colorado. LaBelle also serves as the curator of the Archaeological Repository at Colorado State University (AR-CSU), which contains extensive collections from Colorado, particularly from the South Platte and Colorado River Basins.
