Show simplified environmental determinism that had little or no theoretical basis and left no room for multiple behavioral options. Today, theoretically based models of foraging behavior provide a sound economic basis for understanding the evident link between Great Basin environments and prehistoric human behavior. These models suggest the archaeological record in the Great Basin is a product of people having made optimal choices in changing situations, situations that were largely influenced by environmental conditions around Great Basin lakes.
