was made. Throughout the span of time that was recorded by the 

 McNary sites, there was demonstrated a consei'vativeness on the part 

 of the local inliabitants. New artifacts were constantly added, but the 

 older tools that seemingly should have been replaced were not readily 

 abandoned. This reticence to drop the apparently obsolescent tools 

 does not indicate a people who were dependent upon outsiders for 

 their culture. They were not entirely receivei*s of ideas. Indeed, it 

 can be shown that the most characteristic artifacts of the Plateau 

 were probably indigenous, and that the adjacent areas may well have 

 drawn on the former for a significant amount of their material cul- 

 ture. Plateau material culture in the late prehistoric period, in spite 

 of small local variations, was homogeneous over the entire area and 

 the influences from the Northwest Coast and the Plains had not yet 

 made significant penetrations of the area.
