Show IFeaitmures ( THE SAMPLER Friday, Dec. 18, 1981 Preserving the past The first residents of Dugway, contrary to the popular belief, werent the soldiers who were here in the 1940's, or even the Pbny Express riders of the last century. No, to greet a member of the groups who first lived and hunted around the edges of the even-the- n receding Lake Bonneville, youd have to travel back in time almost 11,000 years from the present. According to Mr. Chas Cartwright, the Salt Lake District Bureau of Land Management (BLM) were Dugway s archeologist, these first inhabitants, who hunted big game animals, like the woolly mammoth." Cartwright is involved with Mr. Carl Pinkham of Paleo-India- Paleo-India- ns ns Environmental Sciences Division, in using a computer to draw sample designs of the areas most likely to have, or contain some surface indications of cultural material. Or in other words, they are using a computer to randomly select 1 for survey of the most likely areas in and around Dugway, where these primitive peoples may have lived, camped, hunted, and done any of the other activities of their day and age. . The computer will select a representative sample of areas to be surveyed, which is only about 1 if the total range land area. Each of the 5145 squares on the computer map is equal to about 80 acres, and a total of 51 squares will be surveyed, which amounts to 4,080 acres that will be intensely studied. The survey will be conducted on foot, by the four members of the survey team, walking 15-2-0 meters apart, as they look for artifacts or traces of both hisman and their dwellings or toric and campsites. For the purposes of their investigation, everything before the aidvent of white man to the area is considered and goes back to 11,000 B.P. (before present). The survey will take place starting sometime in April, and last approximately two months, and the team will be looking for campsites, rock shelters, rock ait sites, petrographs (rock paintings), arrow and spear heads, and any other signs of the groups that once lived here pre-histor- ic pre-histor- ic, oo o ) The reasons tor locating and studying such sites Many of the survey areas are near the sand dunes, are basically threefold. or old spring creek, on stream beds and other . likely 1.

Cartwright said, If any finds are made, there will be some sort of follow-u- p by management, whether; it would be excavation of a site, or just restriction of traffic in the area. It could just mean designating or marking the site, as well. We dont really know whats out there, he explained, so wed like to get the cooperation of surface ..collectors, those who collect arrowheads and such to help us find and investigate those sites. 'SlkVfirst Cartwright explained that the Paleo-Indiar.J IfL . appeared in fhe area around 1 1,000 years B.P. while " .

All of these peoples were nomadic or wanderers, because of the limited resources of the fresh .water marshes in the area. They ate small game, catVvs ,.!y tails, Indian rice grass and pinon nuts, he said, and moved on when food became scarce. Then came the Fremont Indians, they grew corn, beans, squash and foraged as well, living in pit houses, and other permanent dwellings.
