The Sheep Mountain juniper bark net, originally thought to be of Paleoindian age, was redated by Sundstrom and Walker (2021) to the Late Prehistoric period. Although the original investigators convincingly argued that the net was intended for use with mountain sheep or deer, Sundstrom and Walker suggest it was used to trap small game such as rabbits or sage grouse. Unfortunately, the authors ignore important information presented by the original investigators and misrepresent the archaeological record of the immediate area. The Sheep Mountain net is still best interpreted as designed for use to trap mountain sheep and deer.

落入兔子洞：评论桑德斯特龙和沃克 (2021)

羊山杜松树皮网，最初被认为是古印度时代，被 Sundstrom 和 Walker (2021) 重新修订为史前晚期。尽管最初的调查人员令人信服地辩称，这张网是用来对付山羊或鹿的，但桑德斯特罗姆和沃克认为它是用来捕捉兔子或鼠尾草松鸡等小型猎物的。不幸的是，作者忽略了原始调查人员提供的重要信息，并歪曲了附近地区的考古记录。Sheep Mountain 网仍然被最好地解释为用于捕获山羊和鹿。
