A Cultural Resources Survey of the Proposed Recreational Development Areas and Wildlife Subimpoundments at the B. Everett Jordan Dam and Lake. Volume 1.
Abstract
Archeological survey of the proposed recreational development and wildlife subimpoundments at the B. Everett Jordan Lake, resulted in the discovery of 94 archeological sites, dating from Paleo-Indian through Late Historic periods. The prehistoric data recovered from the present survey supplemented by data obtained from 186 previously recorded sites were used to evaluate changing land-use patterns within the framework of the forager-collector model of hunter-gatherer subsistence/settlement strategies. Also, the present research sought to correlate the factors which influence Early Historic settlement strategies. The factors considered important were: 1) environmental: soil productivity; 2) environmental and cultural; proximity to major rivers or streams which provided at least seasonal transportation to regional markets; and 3) cultural: proximity to principal roads which provided access to the county seat and regional markets.
