Feb. 26, 2001 -- University of Wyoming anthropology professor Robert L. Kelly's book "Prehistory of the Carson Desert and Stillwater Mountains," will be released Monday, March 5.
The 360-page book includes 160 illustrations and 43 maps. It focuses on the lives of prehistoric humans in the Stillwater Marsh and adjacent mountains in western Nevada's Carson Desert. The book provides information on food sources, tools, land use, and transportation.
Stephen Simms, Utah State University, said, "The research on the prehistory of the Stillwater region would be incomplete without publication of this monograph."
Kelly is president of the Society of American Archaeology. He specializes in evolutionary ecology of hunting and gathering societies, archaeological method and theory, long term environmental adaptations of hunting and gathering peoples, Paleoindian colonization of the New World, human evolution, and stone tool technology.
