Abstract: To continue with archaeological studies at the Rimrock Draw Rockshelter which may ultimately lead to re-evaluation of the chronology and theories about first Americans in the Great Basin and on the continent, and their interaction with other, later arriving pre-historic people. Further, the data from the site will add to the local and regional paleo-climate and plant community records, providing a more precise picture of plant communities that occurred prior to 10,000 years ago and, possibly, extending to 16,000 years ago.
