Danger Cave, located near Wendover, Utah/Nevada, is famed for its deeply stratified archaeological deposits dating as old as 10,300 radiocarbon yr BP, when the remnant of Lake Bonneville stood at the Gilbert shoreline.

Analyses of animal and plant remains recovered from caves, rockshelters, and buried open-air sites indicate that early hunter-gatherers in the region consumed a broad array of animals and plants, not just high-ranked large-mammal resources. Studies of lithic technological organization (based primarily on artifact assemblages from undated surface sites) further suggest that these hunter-gatherers were highly mobile, often ...

Numerous caves and rockshelters in the Great Basin of western North America contain geological deposits chronicling human adaptive change through the terminal Pleistocene and early Holocene periods. This is especially the case in the western Bonneville basin of Nevada and Utah, where three caves in particular—Danger Cave, Smith Creek Cave, and Bonneville Estates Rockshelter—have yielded artifacts, faunal remains, floral remains, ...

Modern humans utilizing MUP technologies had been living in the region for about 10,000 years before the LGM. These hunter-gatherers utilized local lithic resources, practiced expedient technologies, and organized mobility ...
