The area, located on the west side of the Nevada Test Site, actually consists of four project areas. Three are contiguous (the U20at drill pad, the access road/ skid trail, and the borrow location #2), and one is east of the main survey area {the borrow location #1 ). The survey identified and recorded 16 sites. Of these, 13 were isolates or localities with two artifacts.

This report documents the procedures and findings of archaeological investigations by the Desert Research Institute for sample unit U19ax on Pahute Mesa, Nevada Test Site during the summer of 1991 . Data recovery was conducted at sites 26NY 4182, 26NY5428, 26NY7842, and 26NY7843. The investigation consisted of mapping and surf ace collection at sites 26NY 4182, 26NY7842, and 26NY7843, a subsurface scrape at site 26NY4182, and one test excavation at site 26NY5428. Four surface artifact...

Civet Cat Canyon is a 5-mile long large drainage of the Cactus Range, located on north Pahute Mesa, Nye County, Nevada, on the Nevada Test and Training Range managed by Nellis Air Force Base. The Civet Cat Canyon road has become an integral passageway for personnel assigned to mission-related field work. At the intersection of Ranges 71 and 76, the canyon narrows to a view of a prehistoric and historic archaeological site that utilized the volcanic basalt canyon walls in an atypical process,...

This monograph describes a Class II cultural resources reconnaissance of a 9.75 km2 land parcel in Area 20 of the Nevada Test Site, Nye County, Nevada. The Social Sciences Center, Desert Research Institute, examined a 30% sample of this sagebrush and juniper covered area on Pahute Mesa in order to identify a representative sample of the cultural and archaeological resources there. This information was then used to develop alternative strategies through which the U.S. Department of Energy might...

The PA implements the Long Range Study Plan (LRSP), in which an 11 % sample of the NTS wIII be investigated for cultural resources. In accordance with this sampling strategy, sample unit U19ax (Figure 1 & 2) was surveyed by the Desert Research Institute (DRI) for archaeological properties. The U19ax sample unit is an area of 914 m by 579 m (3000 ft x 1900 ft). However, a large part of the sample unit was previous surveyed under the U19an and U19ba projects. Therefore, this U19ax sample unit...

The Air Force is conducting its semi-annual maintenance on ranges 75 and 76. This maintenance includes, among other things, the construction of 38 new targets in areas previously undisturbed (see Maps 1-4). These targets usually are composed of dummy vehicles and tanks constructed of plywood. Access to the target is generally cross country; no roads are built.

All three of these originally-proposed alignments have been surveyed for cultural resources by the Desert Research Institute (DRI). This reconnaissance revealed 57 archaeological sites and 16 isolated artifacts, most of which were found along the 34.5 Kv alignment. Of the sites found, 35 are recommended to be considered eligible to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).

The investigation recorded 25 archaeological sites and 14 isolated artifacts. Eight of the sites are recommended to be considered eligible to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The routes of the fiber lines and facility locations would be changed to avoid each of these sites, or placed in already disturbed areas within the sites. In this manner potential adverse effects from construction activities to these historic properties would be avoided.

The U.S. Air Force proposes to construct a fiber optic system for the Tolicha Peak area on the Nellis Air Force Range, Nye County, Nevada. The project involves new facilities and buried fiber optic lines between these and existing facilities (Figures 1 a-1 c) . The proposed routes of the lines and areas for the new facilities have been inspected for cultural resources by Desert Research Institute (DRI). The investigation recorded 25 archaeological sites and 14 isolated artifacts. Nine of the...

The survey included archaeological investigations of a 436 x 1600 m, 70.63 hectares (174.54 acres) area of the NTS in which four sites were located (Figure 2). One site, 26NY1408, is a large lithic source outcrop (approximately 32 hectares) consisting of white chalcedony. A second site, 26NY7847, consists of two rock and brush windbreak structures with two associated rock caches and 10 lithic artifacts. Site 26NY7846 is an isolated artifact of white chalcedony and site 26NY7848 is an isolated...
