Abstract
Paleoenvironmental research has been a crucial part of archaeological research in the Great Basin, playing a key role in discussions about human subsistence practices and the ways in which people shaped the environments that they occupied. Palynological data from a sediment core collected from Mosquito Willies, a spring complex in northeastern Utah, contributes additional details to environmental records spanning the Holocene. Details from this core shed light on the chronology of the development of modern plant communities in the Great Basin, human subsistence and mobility adaptations, and the role of human foragers in shaping plant communities in the northeastern Great Basin.
