Notes: Midwest Archaeological Center Technical Report No. 1   “… results of test excavations at sites 42WS2215, 42WS2216, and 42WS2217 in Zion National Park in southwestern Utah. The excavations were conducted prior to initiating a land exchange and were designed to assess the scientific significance of these sites…Artifact assemblages collected at sites 42WS2217 and 42WS2216 are related to large mammal procurement and plant processing. Biface thinning flakes and debitage characteristics suggest that stone tools were manufactured and maintained at these locations. Site furniture such as complete ground stone manos and metates, as well as ceramic vessel fragments, may also indicate that these sites were repetitively used by logistically-organized hunter-gatherers or collectors. The ceramic vessel fragments exhibit attributes that are characteristic of Southern Paiute Utility ware circa A.D. 1000 to 1400.”  (From the Abstract)  VERY RARE.  No other copies available for sale.
