He specializes in the study of prehistoric Native American forager populations in the Great Plains and Rocky Mountains of North America, with a focus on high altitude settlement systems. His persistent research interests include Paleoindian lithic technology, communal hunting in alpine environments, chronology of stone features, spatial statistical modeling, and photogrammetric methods for excavation and aerial mapping. Kelton's active research projects include glacier/ice patch survey in Rocky Mountain National Park, spatiotemporal analysis of Fremont corn granaries on the Colorado Plateau, spatial analysis of the Lindenmeier Folsom site, and lithic analysis of the Reddin Folsom site in the San Luis Valley.
