Preliminary Report on the Leonard Rockshelter Site Pershing County, Nevada

Abstract: In september, 1949, while in west central Nevada for the purpose of collecting vegetal materials from the lowermost cultural levels of Lovelock cave (Loud and Harrington, 1929) to be used for radiocarbon dating, the author revisited an open rockshelter site some six miles up the valley from Lovelock cave. The site, since named Leonard rockshelter (site 26- Pe-14) after Zenas Leonard who in 1833 traversed the Humbolt Sink area as a member of the Walker expedition (Leonard, 1904), is not referred to by Loud and … Show more

“…), the frequency of 14 C-dated archaeological cases seems to increase but not significantly. During this 2000-year interval, humans discarded organic artifacts in caves and rockshelters of the Black Rock Desert (Elephant Mountain Cave) (Connolly & Barker, 2004), Winnemucca Dry Lake (Shinners sites D and I, Lake Winnemucca Cave, Nicolarsen, Fishbone Cave, Guano Cave, and Cowbone Cave) (Orr, 1956;Adovasio, 1970;Hester, 1973;Rozaire, 1974;Heizer & Hester, 1978;Hattori, 1982;Connolly & Barker, 2004;Dansie & Jerrems, 2005), Carson Sink (Hidden Cave) (Thomas, 1985), and Humboldt Sink (Leonard Rockshelter) (Heizer, 1951), and they prepared human and dog burials in Leonard Rockshelter and Crypt Cave, respectively (Heizer, 1951). The character of artifact inventories and related technologies is significantly different from the earlier period of intense occupation 10,000-9000 14 C B.P.…”

“…The Lovelock Culture label was first coined by Loud and Harrington in 1929, based on their work at Lovelock Cave. It has been applied since by Heizer (1951), Heizer and Krieger (1956), Grosscup (1956), Bennyhoff and Heizer (1958), Heizer and Napton (1970), and Elston (1986) to many of the cave and cache assemblages from the lake areas of western Nevada. It is synonymous with a spectacular array of material culture-most notably perishable items-represented in many of the cave sites of this region.…”
