Ethnohistoric Period Winter Camps In The South-Central Great Basin: An Archaeological Guide
Summary
Inductive and deductive reasoning were used to identify the ethnohistoric period winter camp site type in the south-central Great Basin. Visits to some sites near springs, previously recorded as dwellings built by historic ranchers and miners, yielded visual anomalies in coursed stone structures suggesting that the most recent ancestors of regional Native Americans may have constructed the features. Extensive document research resulted in a compilation of data used to develop an ethnohistoric period winter camp model, a prerequisite for field identification of an undefined site type. The model was field tested on the north NTTR, resulting in the identification of four ethnohistoric period winter camps. Regional Native Americans corroborated results and contributed their memories and knowledge of winter camp features, artifacts, and activities.
