Archaeological Sampling in the Kawich Range, Nellis Air Force Base
Summary
Predictive site location modeling and sample survey conducted in the Kawich Range of the Central Great Basin resulted in the identification of over 200 largely pristine archaeological sites containing a diversity of features and artifacts. Identified sites range in age from the Pre-Archaic to the Ethnohistoric period. Site distribution patterns correlate well with the predictions of the model and, together with information shared by Native American participants, serve to document the extensive prehistoric, ethnographic, and traditional cultural use of the Kawich Range.
