Space and Social Structure in the A.D. 13th Century Occupation of Promontory Cave 1, Utah by Courtney D. Lakevold A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Anthropology University of Alberta © Courtney D. Lakevold, 2017 ABSTRACT Promontory Cave 1, located on the north shore of Great Salt Lake in northern Utah, has yielded many extraordinary archaeological artifacts that are amazingly well-preserved. Promontory phase deposits in Cave 1 are extremely thick, and rich with perishables and other material culture. Bison bones, fur, leather and hide processing artifacts have been recovered at the site, in addition to gaming pieces, basketry, pottery, juniper bark for bedding, knife handles, ceramics and moccasins. A large central hearth area, pictograph panels, pathways and entrance and exit routes have also been identified. Bayesian modeling from AMS dates indicates a high probability that the cave was occupied for one or two human generations over a 20-50 year interval (A.D. 1240-1290). Excavations have taken place at the cave from 2011-2014 by an interdisciplinary research team with members from the University of Alberta (Institute of Prairie Archaeology), the Natural History Museum of Utah (NHMU), Oxford, the Desert Research Institute and Brigham Young University. The extraordinary preservation and narrow time frame (A.D. 1240-1290) for the occupation of Promontory Cave 1 on Great Salt Lake allow for unusual insights into the demography of its Promontory Culture inhabitants. This thesis looks at the cave as a humanly inhabited space and examines what the Promontory Culture group may have looked like in terms of population size and group composition, and how they used or organized space in the cave. -

Fike CULTURAL RESOURCE SERIES No. 8 Special Edition Reprint 1994 Special Edition Reprint 1994 The original Bureau of Land Management publication on the route of this historic railroad between Lucin and Promontory Point in Utah, Rails East to Promontory, the Utah Stations, first appeared in 1981 as Number 8 in the Utah Cultural Resource Series. High public demand for the volume resulted in its becoming out-of-print. The year 1994 marked the 125th anniversary of the completion of the first transcontinental railroad on May 10, 1869. Celebration of the placement of the famous Golden Spike was widely publicized and attended by thousands. The year 1994 also marked the advent of the theme "Trails West," in the Bureau of Land Management's Adventures in the Past program. This theme explored historic transportation routes and the relationship of these routes to westward expansion. The work by the authors, Raymond and Fike, has stood the test of time. Please note that the volume has been reprinted as it appeared in 1981 with some modifications. A few minor notes offered as errata for this reprint, follow: * The map on page 26 has two errors. The site of Metataurus was spelled incorrectly, and the locations of Metataurus and Centre were apparently transposed. * The site of Ombey, as noted on page 27 (second paragraph) is not synonymous with Gravel Pit. Om bey and Gravel Pit are separate locations, as correctly described on page 62 of the text. -
THE LAST SPIKE IS DRIVEN! the PACIFIC RAILROAD IS COMPLETED! II the POINT of JUNCTION IS 1,086 MILES WEST of the MISSOURI RIVER, and 690 EAST of Vi SACRAMENTO CITY
ATIONAL GOLDEN SPIKE CENTENNIAL COMMISSION OFFICIAL PUBLICATION MBPPP GOLDEN SP KE CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION COMMISSION "What is past is prologue. ..." Shakespeare's words epitomize the spirit of the nation's railroads as they look to the challenges of the future while celebrating the centennial of an achievement that still stands as one of the great milestones in American history. That event was the completion of the first transcontinental railway system with the Driving of the Golden Spike at Promontory, Utah, on May 10, 1869. It was hailed at the time as an impossible dream come true. And, indeed, it was. Its significance was summarized by the late President John F. Kennedy when he said: "We need not read deeply into the history of the United States to become aware of the great and vital role which the railroads have played in the opening up and developing of this great nation. As our frontier moved westward, it was the railroads that bore the great tide of America to areas of new opportunities and new hopes." The railroad industry is justly proud of its past and its contribution to the growth, development and economic might of America. But, again, what's past is prologue. Railroadmen see vast changes occurring in their industry. Today — a hundred years from Promontory — the Iron Horse has lost most of his passen ger train glamour. But he's still the workhorse of the transportation stable, hauling almost as much freight as all the newer modes combined. New all-time freight records in 1968 are a significant keynote to the future in railroading. -

Promontory Summit, May 10, 1869
Promontory Summit, May 10, 1869 A History of the Site Where The Central Pacific and Union Pacific Railroads Joined to Form the First Transcontinental Railroad, 1869, With a Special Focus on the Tents of May 10, and with Recommendations for Interpretation of and Historic Furnishings Study for the Tents at the Last Spike Site, Golden Spike National Historic Site, Utah By Robert L. Spude, History Program And with the assistance of Todd Delyea, Historic Architecture Program The Arizona Spike UP Museum Cultural Resources Management Intermountain Region, National Park Service 2005 THE GREAT EVENT CONSUMATED “The last rail is laid; the last spike is driven; the Pacific Railroad is completed.” In such terse and brief terms as these is the announcement made to the world that the great event of the age is finally accomplished. In the face of natural obstacles of the most forbidding character, the shores of the Atlantic and the Pacific are at last practically united by an iron highway spanning the continent… From henceforth we are in the Union and of it, and the great event of the age has brought us all home at last. Daily Alta California, San Francisco, May 11, 1869 PACIFIC RAILROAD The greatest epoch in the history of Chicago was that which occurred on yesterday, in the laying of the last connecting link in the great iron band, the Pacific Railroad, which cements the social and commercial interests in the eastward and westward extremes of the American Continent. This event, stupendous in its results affecting the entire country, if not the entire world, is to Chicago the dawn of a new era in the future greatness and prosperity of the city, and it follows that Chicago should rejoice.
