Book excerpt: The goal of this study is to reconstruct both regional and local paleoclimate within a region on the northern boundary of the vegetative and hydrologic Great Basin using pollen analysis from a site in the Jarbridge Mountains of northeastern Nevada. The results of this analysis are compared to sites with the Great Basin. Five dry periods were found between 4000 and 2000 cal yr BP. The two wettest periods of the last 4000 years were from 4000 to 3600 and 3500 to 3300 cal yr BP.
