Thanks are extended to the staff of the Stillwater Wildlife Management Area (U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service), and especially to Anan Raymond, for his help and advice throughout the fieldwork and the following analysis. The fieldwork and research could not have been completed without the trust and understanding of the Fallon Paiute-Shoshone Tribe and former Tribal Chairman Richard Hicks. The Stillwater data collection and analysis were facilitated by various people. Christine Larsen provided invaluable assistance in data recording. Thanks are extended to Thomas Barcia at the Veterans Administration Hospital, Reno, Nevada, for approval and arrangements for our use of the computed tomography scanner for long bone structural analysis. John Blitz, Al Hengge, Urszula Iwaniec, Matthew Murray, Renee Robinson, Mark Schurr, and Isabel Treichel prepared samples for stable isotope analysis. Modern plants for stable isotope analysis in the Carson Desert were collected by Elizabeth Budy and Anan Raymond. Investigation of the human remains in the Nevada State Museum was made easier due to the work of Michelle Haldeman, Sheilagh Brooks, Amy Dansie, and Don Tuohy in identifying skeletons and in cataloging and arranging skeletal remains prior to our study of them. Katherine Russell{\textquoteright}s participation in the project as field director, osteologist, and consultant extraordinaire is greatly appreciated. Amelia Hubbard provided editorial assistance in the preparation of this chapter. The fieldwork and laboratory analysis were funded by the National Science Foundation (BNS-8704094). Additional funding came from Northern Illinois University, the University of Louisville, and the University of Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation.",
