Great Salt Lake is what is left of Lake Bonneville, as are the salt flats. Lake Bonneville itself covered a good many thousands of square miles.

Which explains why we found so many fossil shells in the foothills when I was growing up.

Other locals?

Yes, and Utah Lake at Provo is the other large remnant of Bonneville.

I never tire of looking at the highly visible shelving on the hillsides along I-84/I-15 from the various levels of Lake Bonneville.

Have to look at SOMETHING while driving in some of those areas...can’t always take scenic routes, such as Ogden Canyon/Logan Canyon/StarValley; or Idaho Falls/Swan Valley/Alpine/Jackson Hole to get back & forth between Oregon & SD.

:’) The ancestors ate whatever was around and didn’t kill them, the end result being, they have descendants. :’)

Of all the places I’ve been in my life, the scenery in Utah is unparalleled. And Utah is the only place that makes me homesick.

I bet the paticular site they found the safebrush seeds and flour was a medicine man’s place given the shortcomings and uses of sagebrush. Medicine man, shaman, whatever they had back then. It would be interesting to see what other ‘weird things’ they find there.
