Attempts to understand how hunter-gatherers operated prehistorically in the Intermountain region by focusing on the behavioral interrelationships between the use of upland and lowland areas and by structuring the use of alpine zones in terms of the environmental settings and subsistence strategies employed in adjacent foothills and valleys. Some topics are radiocarbon dates from the Uinta Basin, prehistoric hunting patterns in the Wyoming Basin, and Utah chub size utilization at Goshen Island. Lacks a subject index. The editors are affiliated with the Utah Geological Survey and an archaeological consulting service. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
