		A major goal of our research in the Goshute Valley has been to investigate Paleoindian lithic technological organization and how it relates to settlement patterns.
		Specifically, we want to use the lithic artifact assemblages recovered from these sites to characterize whether Paleoindians in the Goshute Valley were highly mobile hunters or somewhat sedentary foragers focusing subsistence pursuits in and around pluvial lake/marsh environments.
		Certainly, formal tool production also can be the result of tool curation in response to raw material shortages, but given the fact that all of the Nelson Creek sites are situated on or near local sources of fine-grained lithic material, this most likely was not a factor at these sites.

		The reservation is part of the original homeland of the Goshutes, but represents only a fraction of the several hundred miles of territory they held before being limited to the present 18,000 acres by Woodrow Wilson in 1917 and 1918.
		In that sense, the Goshutes were not moved to "inhospitable lands" from their more lush woodland forests as were the less fortunate Nations who were moved to Oklahoma by Jackson's Indian Removal Act of 1830.
		However, one might draw the analogy between the "waste zone" defined Goshutes Reservation and the Hanford Nuclear Reservation where increased infant mortality and fetal death rates, iodine-131 exposure, and increased thyroid disease are of primary concerns.
