| Summary: | "In 1930-31, Julian Steward recovered hundreds of well-worn moccasins-along with mittens, bison robe fragments, bows, arrows, pottery, bone and stone tools, cordage, gaming pieces, and abundant faunal remains-making Utah's Promontory Caves one of the most remarkable hunter-gatherer archaeological records in western North America. Steward recognized that the moccasins and other artifacts were out of place in the Great Basin and instead were characteristic of the Canadian Subarctic and northern Plains. He further suspected they reflected ancestral Apachean populations who left the Canadian Subarctic, ultimately making their homes in the Southwest and southern Plains. Steward's findings languished for decades, with the Promontory materials regarded as enigmatic. This volume matches Steward's work with results from new excavations in Promontory Caves 1 and 2 in chapters illustrating that the early Promontory Phase resulted from an intrusive population with a large game hunting population very different from nearby late Fremont communities. While lingering for just one or two human generations, the cave occupants began to accept people as well as material and symbolic culture from surrounding AD 13th century neighbors. The authors employ a trans-disciplinary search image to evaluate the possibility that the Promontory Phase materials reflect the presence of Apachean ancestors, with a treatment that expands to the Dismal River Aspect and Franktown Cave records (also suspected of having Apachean connections). In these records lie the seeds for the intensive Plains-Puebloan interactions of the centuries that followed" -- |
