Late Pleistocene subsistence in the Great Basin: Younger Dryas-aged faunal remains from the Botanical Lens, Paisley Cave 2, Oregon

- Paisley Cave 2 preserves a short-term record of human subsistence ca. 12,200 cal. BP.
- During the Younger-Dryas, hunter-gatherers consumed pronghorn, jackrabbits, fish, and insects.
- These data suggest that Paleoindian hunter-gatherers in the Great Basin were not the “big-game” hunters of folklore.
