An Optimal Foraging Model of Hunter-Gatherer Land Use in Carson Desert (Legacy 92-0497)
Summary
This report expands and elaborates on an earlier model that predicted locations of prehistoric archaeology at Stillwater Marsh by analyzing the economic foraging potential of resource distributions there. A preliminary survey of selected lands administered by three federal agencies determined the predictive power of the model.
