Description
Summary: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.
