The Great Basin region has been occupied for over
12,000 years. First to come were the Paleo-Indians,
considered big game hunters being how their prey
were animals such as the Bison and the extinct
Mammoth and Ground Sloth Their hunting tools
were large fluted (each face is flaked on both sides)
and unfluted stone points lashed to the tip of a spear.

The Atlatl, or 'spear thrower' was developed soon after.
This device was simple, but it increased the spear velocity
made aiming more accurate. There were stone knives,
bow and arrows (coming into use between 2,000 and
3,000 years ago), nets, snares and traps. Fish were
caught with hook and line, basket traps, nets, harpoons
and spears. Rabbits and other burrowing rodents were
pulled from their holes with hooked sticks and clubbed.
Mountain Sheep were taken by hunters with bow and
arrow or with deadfalls and traps. In the 16th century,
horses were added (very slowly) to the list of hunting tools.
