Man in Association with Extinct Fauna in the Great Basin
View through CrossRef
AbstractA recently published statement by Baumhoff and Heizer that the "large herbivores disappeared in the Great Basin before man’s entry into the area" is contrary to the facts in the case. The correct data are supplied.BAUMHOFF AND HEIZER (1965: 699) in their discussion of "Climate and Archaeology in the Desert West" state:Alleged associations of man and Equus in some Nevada and Oregon cave deposits are not adequately demonstrated. In brief, if uncertain associations of man and extinct Pleistocene mammals are ignored, evidence is still lacking that man knew or hunted or ate such animals in the western desert region other than in southern Arizona (italics ours). The simplest conclusion is that the large herbivores disappeared in the Great Basin before man's entry into the area.
