This reveals a fluid and diverse society based of a high degree of mobility and far-reaching connectivity, with limited social hierarchization and a striking prevalence of female leaders.

In this paper, we construct a species distribution model for maize, using a novel machine learning approach from ecology, to produce a suitability model for Indigenous maize agriculture in Utah (ca. 3200–500 calBP). We then explore the variation in the suitability of maize farming settlements over time. Results suggest that Indigenous maize farmers selected settlement locations to minimize the distance to perennial streams and to balance the elevation-driven trade-off between growing degree days and precipitation. By comparing locations best suited for maize agriculture over time and relative to estimates of past population density, we suggest Indigenous maize farmer settlement patterns throughout the northwestern limit of ancestral maize farming follow predictions from an ideal distribution model, where increasing competition drove farmers into less suitable farming habitats.

Our findings indicate that magnetic susceptibility measurements are insufficient for identifying the hearth’s location in contexts characterised by magnetic debris and above-ground fire installations. Instead, the distribution of charred archaeobotanical remains provides the most reliable evidence. In Building 24, these remains successfully revealed the locations of both the forge and charcoal storage. When combined with geochemical data, they also provided insights into the structured use of space within the building. The results further suggest that the low archaeological visibility of forge hearths may be due to their elevation above ground level. Additionally, this study demonstrates that charred archaeobotanical remains are primarily linked to combustion and hearth-cleaning activities, which may skew interpretations of plant use in past societies. However, with systematic sampling of primary contexts, aspects of daily plant-related activities can be discerned. In Building 24, these included hazelnut roasting, potential legume roasting, and cereal dehusking—standard domestic practices suggesting that the blacksmith’s workshop was situated within a domestic building. The evidence indicating flatbread baking is of particular significance, marking one of the earliest documented examples of this type of bread preparation in Early Iron Age Slovenia.
