Fascinating! I've always been drawn to native American culture. It's wonderful that these traps are still intact so we can see and learn from them. Subscribed!
Same here is I grew up in an area rich in Native American culture. Thank you for subscribing. We look forward to bringing you more informative and interesting videos.
I am very interested, as an archaeologist, but, for me, its impossible to listen to. The music is to loud and the voice hardly understandable. So sorry, but I had to stop the video just under 2 minutes.
Looks like an ancient lake, not sure if i spelled this right but a playa, seems like what your are showing are the different traps made by indeginous people as the playa would fill and wane with the seasons, the species of fish and the southern geography of the land as depicted by th presence of palm trees to me puts this in southern California somewhere more south of the great valley where the fish species are more warm water species.
Yes, you could definitely call this a playa. Yes, because the river shifted to bring water in to the area that was not natural, it is believed that the water levels would constantly rise and fall through out the year and not stay consistent. Which is why it's believed why they made different levels of fish traps on the mountain side. The fish came from the Colorado River, as that is the water source that was provided to this area at the time.

Love the intro and cool traps to catch the fish!
Thank you. Right!? 😁
Great job on the video!
Thank you! 😊
Interesting. Also, the archaeological term for broken pottery is "sherds" not shards I do believe
Yes, it is sherds and that was what I was implying even though it sounds like shards.

Thank you for the feedback. We will address the issue moving forward.
Yes, I would like the soundtrack turned down just a bit, and I use closed captioning to read while the narrator is speaking, good video
@@danhattaway3513thank you for your feedback as well. Please let me know what you think of the volume in the next video.

Does anyone else wonder how fish get in fresh water lakes that form away from rivers and oceans?
That is a good question. Maybe we need to do some research on that and can hopefully answer that question in a future video.
To me, it looks as though things have been pushed over, not fallen over.
Are you talking about the fish traps?
