AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Harper and Alder used the plant remains and some of the animal remains to test hypotheses concerning the past climate in the northern Great Basin. In particular they were interested in examining Antevs' hypothesis of the Anathermal, the Altithermal, and the Medithermal and the proposed dates for these climatic episodes. Harper and Alder find that during the Altithermal the average annual temperatures were at least one degree Celsius above modern temperatures. They also conclude the drying lake bed would have dominated the landscape at Hogup and that its affect on the people there has been underestimated. Only the data that pertain to Unit I are marked for Outline of Cultural Material (OCM) codes.
