Kawich Range (Geographic Keyword)

DOCUMENT Full-Text Elena Nilsson.

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...

The U.S. Air Force proposes to construct an electronic system (P-51) atop Cedar Peak in the Kawich Range on Nellis Range 4807, Nye County, Nevada (Figure 1). Construction will involve the removal of an existing facility, additional leveling of the area now occupied by that facility, the pouring of concrete slabs, the construction of a tower and building on those pads, and the installation of utility lines. Although over 90 percent of the area proposed for this facility has already been disturbed...

Class III inventory report in support of Harley Spring wildlife fencing to protect the fragile riparian environment from wild horse impacts. Access to the spring will be gained through existing dirt roads. Disturbance within the project area wIII be limited to post holes, 18 inches in diameter by three feet deep, spaced at intervals of 10 to 12 feet. Thus, the APE is defined as the project area.

The 98th Range Wing has proposed road repair of a 29-mile road segment from SR highway 375 in Railroad Valley, east-west to Cactus Flat. Its location crosses Cedar Pass in the Kawich Range in the northeast portion of the Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR), managed by Nellis Air Force Base. The existing paved road was created circa 1970. It is the sole and main artery to access the northeast portion of the NTTR. With substantial use, the road has become in disrepair and two individuals have...

The first human arrivals in the Great Basin encountered a landscape that for a time supported numerous lakes, marshes, rivers, and streams within the internally draining basins of the Great Basin. The current investigation is an effort to determine whether the terminal Pleistocene/early Holocene remnants of Mud, Gold Flat, and Kawich lakes on the Nevada Test and Training Range supported Paleo archaic activity. This study combines Dickerson's 2006 geomorphology findings with archaeological...

To support the work involved in developing a PA, Nellis AFB determined that the area of research should be expanded for the entire north NTTR, 2 million acres, a region of intense volcanism. In 2000, the Air Force funded a large-scale scientific investigation of obsidian and its human associations on 2 million acres on the NTTR, the largest study done in terms of acreage and numbers of artifacts analyzed.

URS Corporation, formerly Dames & Moore, under contract to Prewitt & Associates, was selected by Nellis Air Force Base to perform archaeological inventory of an approximate 5,000-acre sample of the Kawich Range. The following report constitutes the third phase of the project, and documents the results of the archaeological survey and an evaluation of a predictive model. Thirty-five sample units were randomly selected for survey within the project area, while six named springs were intuitively...

The Kawich Range is considered one of the least explored and most pristine mountain ranges in the Great Basin, part of 3.1 million acres withdrawn from public access in 1940s by the Department of Defense. Dames & Moore, under contract to Prewitt & Associates, was selected by Nellis Air Force Base to perform archaeological inventory and recordation of a 5,000-acre sample of the Kawich Range. The three phases of this project include: (1) preparation of a predictive model and research design; (2)...

The primary purpose of the report is to begin collecting data from knowledgeable Indian people who have demonstrated cultural and historic ties to the NAFR. Participating in this study are the American Indian people (with traditional cultural ties to these lands) who have been consulting with the United States Air Force since January 1996. This report may be considered an appendix or companion document to the Ethnographic and Ethnohistoric Overview produced in January 1997 for the first year of...

A systematic analysis of the dry lake systems on the Nevada Test and Training Range, managed by Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada was completed in 2010 by Robert Dickerson. Nellis Air Force Base invited Dickerson to conduct an analysis of fossil types. The library and field survey methods and the results of the investigation are described in this document. The kinds of fossils in the formations on the Nevada Test and Training Range are associated with a deep variety of invertebrate fossils. The...

Seven springs in the northern Kawich Range were investigated to determine whether Holocene volcanic ash layers exist in alluvial deposits within the Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR). Although no discrete ash layers were visible in the exposures studied, microtephra analysis of sediment samples collected at Rose Spring and Cedar Spring revealed the presence of varying concentrations of ash shards. Radiocarbon dating and stratigraphic relationships suggest that both Mono-Inyo Craters and...
