description: This report describes HRA Inc., Conservation Archaeology’s (HRA) data recovery investigations at three archaeological sites (42IN3543, 42IN3556, and 42IN3561) located near Gold Springs in Iron County, Utah. The archaeological sites (42IN3543, 3556, and 3561) were initially recorded as large diffuse prehistoric artifact scatters that dated to the Formative Period (A.D. 900-1300) (Table 1). Excavations identified the remains of circular or oval brush shelters associated with thermal features and Fremont pottery. Two sites also contained small assemblages of Intermountain Brown Ware ceramics. The macrobotanical samples processed from two of the sites contained pine nut shells, pine cones, or pine nuts, which suggests that the main subsistence focus was pine nut processing in the fall. Highly fragmented burnt bones, some from mule deer, were also collected from the hearths and floor features of all three sites. No evidence for the use of cultigens was found in the macrobotanical samples or pollen records.
