Bonneville Estates: diverse foods and changing tool comparisons

Reviewed community and place names are preserved where supported; no otherwise unknown ancient self-designation is invented.

Hockett's analysis examines large and small animals across successive deposits rather than assuming exclusive large-game specialization. The project director records excavation seasons from 2000 through 2009 and changing university field-school partnerships.

Rockshelter subsistence and tool-chronology context Terminal Pleistocene through later Holocene; roughly 13,000-year sampled sequence Animal remains, hearths, stratified stone tools and comparative radiocarbon chronology West Wendover, Nevada, United States (orientation only): approximate public-town or distant institutional orientation, not an excavation, burial, sacred-site, cave-entrance, private compound or vulnerable-deposit location; never a territorial, ethnic, linguistic, cultural, political, religious, sovereignty, hunting, gathering, farming, fishing, water-rights or route boundary. The orientation may be far from the archaeological context. No access, collecting, fishing or travel permission is implied.
Resumen

Cuevas, humedales, hogares, ríos y evidencias

Conexiones entre cuencas, mesetas, lagos, ríos y regiones vecinas

West Wendover, Nevada, United States is a modern orientation, not an ancient capital or boundary. Different hunting and processing episodes do not describe one basin-wide government.

Organización política y escala comunitaria

Different hunting and processing episodes do not describe one basin-wide government. Bonneville Estates is one sampled shelter, not a universal Great Basin diet; tool types, lake formation and occupation dates cannot be collapsed into one ethnic history.

Transformación posterior, patrimonio vivo y recepción moderna

Living communities and heritage institutions retain their own authority; this atlas cannot establish identity, ancestry, descent, recognition or membership. Tools and food remains cannot identify every ancient language or speaker; living peoples' own histories are not dependent on archaeological classification. Events after 1800 CE and modern research, reconstruction and stewardship are dated separately from the main historical context.

Varied animal foods Hockett's analysis examines large and small animals across successive deposits rather than assuming exclusive large-game specialization.

Secuencia histórica

Una cronología breve y documentada

Estos hitos sirven de orientación y no constituyen una historia completa.

  1. Early hearth and food evidence

    The stratified record supports examination of varied activities, subject to preservation and sample limits.

  2. Changing subsistence patterns

    The faunal study compares shifts across deposits rather than one immutable desert adaptation.

  3. Excavation seasons

    Field schools investigated the rockshelter in successive campaigns.

  4. Regional point comparisons

    The BLM record places the assemblage in a comparative typological framework.
