Communal Trapping and Pinyon Exploitation in the Wovoka Wilderness
Author(s): Frederic Dillingham; Bryan Hockett; Evan Pellegrini; Jeffrey Weise
Year: 2018
Summary
Heritage resources are recognized as a characteristic of the relatively new Wovoka Wilderness, created in 2014. Located in western Nevada’s Pine Grove Hills and in the Sierra Nevada’s rain shadow, resources relate to pine nut exploitation and communal artiodactyl hunting. The Wichman deer game trap still has standing corral posts, providing insights about the structure and function of Great Basin traps. Other game traps, blinds, rock rings, brush huts and bow stave trees are among the resources in this western Great Basin wilderness.
