  • Lovelock-Cave-Back-Country-Byway
    Back Country Byways . An Invitation to Discover There is an axiom among seasoned travelers advising that the best way to get to know a new place is to get off the highway and visit the back roads, the side trails and the hidden, out-of-the-way corners where the true qualities wait to be discovered. The same axiom holds true for America’s public lands, the vast reaches of our nation that are all too often seen only from the windows of speeding cars or the tiny portholes of airliners. The Bureau of Land Management, America’s largest land managing agency, is providing an exciting opportunity for more Americans to get to know their lands by getting off the main roads for leisurely trips on a series of roads and trails being dedicated as Back Country Byways. The Back Country Byways Program, an outgrowth of the national Scenic Byways Program, is designed to encourage greater use of these existing back roads through greater public awareness. The system is BUREAUREAU OOFF LANDLAND MANMANAGEMENTGEMENT expected to expand to 100 roads when completed. In Nevada, each byway has a character and beauty of its own, taking travelers through scenery that is uniquely Nevadan, into historic areas that helped shape our state and near areas that have been largely untouched by man. They can see the multiple uses of their lands and come to a greater awareness of the need for the conservation and wise use of these resources. And all this can be accomplished at little cost to the taxpayer. Because the roads are already in place, only interpretive signs and limited facilities are needed to better serve the public.

Chaparro-Cárdenasa a Instituto de Ciencias Naturales, Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Bogotá, Colombia b Departamento de Antropología, Universidad de Antioquia, Medellín, Colombia c Department of Archaeology, Exeter, University of Exeter, United Kingdom ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords: Recent research carried out in the Serranía La Lindosa (Department of Guaviare) provides archaeological evi- Colombian amazon dence of the colonisation of the northwest Colombian Amazon during the Late Pleistocene. Preliminary ex- Serranía La Lindosa cavations were conducted at Cerro Azul, Limoncillos and Cerro Montoya archaeological sites in Guaviare Early peopling Department, Colombia. Contemporary dates at the three separate rock shelters establish initial colonisation of Foragers the region between ~12,600 and ~11,800 cal BP. The contexts also yielded thousands of remains of fauna, flora, Human adaptability lithic artefacts and mineral pigments, associated with extensive and spectacular rock pictographs that adorn the Rock art rock shelter walls. This article presents the first data from the region, dating the timing of colonisation, de- scribing subsistence strategies, and examines human adaptation to these transitioning landscapes. The results increase our understanding of the global expansion of human populations, enabling assessment of key inter- actions between people and the environment that appear to have lasting repercussions for one of the most important and biologically diverse ecosystems in the world.

  • Annotated Atlatl Bibliography John Whittaker Grinnell College Version June 20, 2012
    1 Annotated Atlatl Bibliography John Whittaker Grinnell College version June 20, 2012 Introduction I began accumulating this bibliography around 1996, making notes for my own uses. Since I have access to some obscure articles, I thought it might be useful to put this information where others can get at it. Comments in brackets [ ] are my own comments, opinions, and critiques, and not everyone will agree with them. The thoroughness of the annotation varies depending on when I read the piece and what my interests were at the time. The many articles from atlatl newsletters describing contests and scores are not included. I try to find news media mentions of atlatls, but many have little useful info. There are a few peripheral items, relating to topics like the dating of the introduction of the bow, archery, primitive hunting, projectile points, and skeletal anatomy. Through the kindness of Lorenz Bruchert and Bill Tate, in 2008 I inherited the articles accumulated for Bruchert’s extensive atlatl bibliography (Bruchert 2000), and have been incorporating those I did not have in mine. Many previously hard to get articles are now available on the web - see for instance postings on the Atlatl Forum at the Paleoplanet webpage http://paleoplanet69529.yuku.com/forums/26/t/WAA-Links-References.html and on the World Atlatl Association pages at http://www.worldatlatl.org/ If I know about it, I will sometimes indicate such an electronic source as well as the original citation. The articles use a variety of measurements. Some useful conversions: 1”=2.54

Warner provided a typed description of the cave location and A Specialized Tool Kit from the collector’s findings; that document is included in the Eastern Oregon museum accession file. He described the cave as being nearly filled to the ceiling with silt, stone, sticks, animal ELIZABETH A. KALLENBACH Museum of Natural and Cultural History bone, and feces. On their first day of excavation, the 1224 University of Oregon, Eugene, Oregon 97403-1224 diggers sifted through fill and basalt rocks from roof fall, finding projectile points, charred animal bone, and The Chewaucan Cave cache, discovered in 1967 by relic pieces of cordage and matting. On the second day, they collectors digging in eastern Oregon, consists of a large discovered the large grass bag. grass bag that contained a number of other textiles and Warner’s description noted that the bag was leather, including two Catlow twined baskets, two large “located about eight feet in from the mouth of the cave folded linear nets, snares, a leather bag, a badger head and two feet below the surface.” It was covered by a pouch, other hide and cordage, as well as a decorated piece of tule matting, and lay on a bed of grass, with a basalt maul. One of the nets returned an Accelerator Mass sage rope looped around the bag.

  • Frank Temoke Hereditary Chief of the Western Shoshone
    Testimony of Frank Temoke Hereditary Chief of the Western Shoshone The following testimony is not written in Frank Temoke's own words, but rather as I interpret his meaning. Keep in mind that Frank was raised in a period when whites and Indians communicated in simple terms, a language often referred to as pigeon English. Having been raised among the native Shoshone People and having them a my playmates during my growing years, I must say that I am as comfortable with such language as any english, and believe that the following is very close to the language Frank would use if he had command of modern English. ~1Y~~ For the purpose of passing along testimony of how I remember things as they happened during my lifetime, and things told me by people who have gone before me, I am having the following put in writing. For background it is important that it's understood that although I was not born until 1903, many of the old ways remained during much of my lifetime. My people worked at jobs provided on ranches and mines, and even the railroad, but only for short periods. Much of the time we spent living in our old way. School to Indians seemed unimportant and neither my wife, Theresa, nor I ever learned to read. But not being educated has not stopped us from doing what we have felt was right, and learning all we could during our lives. I am proud that before I retired in 1972, I managed the Circle Bar Ranch for Charles and Peggy Evans here i~ Ruby Valley.
