Who Were the Ancient People of Stillwater Marsh National Wildlife Refuge, Nevada.

摘要

For at least 3,000 years, people have carried on full and productive lives at a desert marsh in west-central Nevada. Today the forces of water and wind have brought their homes and bones to the surface. As land stewards, scientists, and fellow human beings, we are compelled to treat these remains with care and respect. Archaeologists and the local Fallon Paiute-Shoshone Tribes worked together to ensure that the bones received proper scientific and spiritual treatment. This booklet summarizes over a dozen archaeological reports on the artifacts and burials recently exposed by the flooding of Stillwater Marsh National Wildlife Refuge, Churchill County, Nevada.
