Additional Description:
• 13,000 years BP (before present): The earliest Fort Rock inhabitants were nomadic hunters of large and small game.

• 6,000 years BP: People lived in small shoreline houses; they ate fish, seeds, roots, and game, and traded for shell beads from as far away as southern California and northern Mexico.

• 3,000 years BP: Increasing reliance on upland root crops caused local populations to move to village sites located nearer the foothills around the marshes.

• As late as 150 years BP: Some villages remained occupied by the ancestors of today's Klamath Tribes, Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation, and Burns Paiute Tribe.
