PALEOENVIRONMENTAL AND SUBSISTENCE DATA FOR THREE SITES IN THE EASTERN SEVIER DESERT, WESTERN UTAH
Author(s): Linda J. Scott
Year: 1985
Summary
Three of the archaeological sites mitigated in connection with the 345kv Intermountain - Mona Line 1 were sampled for pollen. These three sites (42Md620, 42Md827, and 42Md828) are located in the northeastern portion of Millard County in western Utah. Sites 42Md828 and 42Md827 are located in semi-stabilized sand dunes along the eastern edge of the Sevier Desert, approximately .95 km south of the Sevier River. Site 42Md620 is located in the Fishlake National Forest at the western base of the Canyon Mountains and eastern edge of the Sevier Desert. Pollen analysis was conducted at these sites in an effort to define the paleoenvironment during occupation and to obtain subsistence data.
