Aspen Shelter on the Old Woman Plateau in central Utah was a hub of
deer hunting activity from 4,000 years ago until the end of the
Fremont era, about AD 1200. Thousands of deer bones discarded at
the site are evidence of these early hunters' success. In addition
to the faunal remains, excavators uncovered two small house basins
with central hearths and reflector stones dating to the Late
Archaic period. Projectile points and miscellaneous butchering
tools are common, as are milling tools and plant macrophytes. The
Aspen Shelter occupation complements Sudden Shelter, a few miles
south, where use ceased by the Late Archaic.
