What 3 cultures expanded from the desert cultures/dwellers?

Desert cultures, in North America, ancient cultures centered on the Great Basin in the area of Nevada, Utah, and Arizona; they lasted from about 7000 or 8000 BC to about 2000 BC. Subsistence was based on gathering wild seeds and plants and on hunting small game; social groups were probably small and nomadic. The people used baskets, nets, crude milling stones, simple bone tools, and stemmed or notched chipped-stone projectile points.

Hope this helps you get a better understanding :)
