Sandals and the Basketmaker Occupation at Antelope Cave, Northwestern Arizona

Summary
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.
Antelope Cave is a large limestone cavern sunk beneath the undulation hills of the Uinkaret Plateau in Northwestern Arizona. Native Americans lived in the cave intermittently for 4000 years during the Archaic and Puebloan periods. This paper focuses on the Basketmaker materials, particularly the sandals, recovered by UCLA archaeologists at Antelope Cave in the 1950s. The sandals will be described followed by a discussion of several related issues. These include radiocarbon dating, age demographics, storage facilities (or lack thereof), and the BMII-BMIII transition.
