Abstract Along the western and northern margins of Silver Lake (one lobe of remnant late Pleistocene Lake Mojave) near Baker, California, there are three locations where groups of circular/oval and linear stone features constructed of local cobbles and boulders extend from the latest Holocene shoreline out onto the playa. At two of these locations, other stone features on talus slopes just above the playa seem to be associated with the features on the playa. We hypothesize that the playa features functioned to facilitate resource procurement during times when the playa was flooded from the middle to late Holocene. We further hypothesize that the ring-shaped or arc-shaped features on the talus slopes were temporary dwellings, windbreaks, or storage units used concurrently with the playa features.

加利福尼亚州莫哈韦沙漠银湖岸边：全新世晚期海岸线特征和功能假设

摘要 在加利福尼亚州贝克附近的银湖（晚更新世莫哈韦湖的残余部分）的西部和北部边缘，有三个位置，由最新世的最新世的当地鹅卵石和巨石构成的圆形/椭圆形和线性石特征组延伸到三个位置。海岸线到海滩。在其中两个位置，位于海滩正上方的距骨斜坡上的其他石头特征似乎与海滩上的特征有关。我们假设，在从全新世中晚期到全新世被洪水淹没的时期，海滩特征起到了促进资源采购的作用。我们进一步假设距骨斜坡上的环形或弧形特征是临时住宅、防风林或与 playa 特征同时使用的存储单元。
