Archaeological Sampling in the Kawich Range, Nellis Air Force Base (1996)
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...
Archaeological Site Disturbance Evaluation at Nellis Air Force Range and Nearby Bureau of Land Management Lands (2001)
Nellis Air Force Range archaeological sites are compared with Bureau of Land Management sites in southwestern Nevada based on data collected from site records and site visits. Of 105 sample sites, 86 were evaluated based only on site forms. Nineteen sites were visited; four were examined in detail. Data showed a trend towards NAFR sites being less disturbed and in better condition. NAFR has more sites in “excellent” condition than BLM; the proportion of disturbed BLM sites is greater than NAFR...

An Archaeological Study of the Psychological Profiles of Two Cactus Range Miners Nevada Test and Training Range (2004)
The mining industry has been labeled as economically cyclical with a historic dynamic web of human interpersonal influences contrasted against socioeconomic trends. Historians and archaeologists study regional trends to describe the macro effects human-created systems have on the landscape. Studies of towns such as Goldfield and Tonopah highlight the fact that only a few people, such as Nixon and Wingfield, could persuade tens of thousands to create cities where there was not even enough...
Archaeological Survey and Evaluation of Six Parcels on Nellis Air Force Base, Lincoln, Clark, and Nye Counties, Nevada (1988)

An Archaeologist's Field Guide to Playa Features Nellis Air Force Base (2008)
The purpose of this document is to offer archaeologists a basis for understanding natural features in playa systems. Nellis Air Force Base previously commissioned a study that describes in text and photographs the geology for source materials on the NTTR and in the southern Nevada region (Dickerson 2003). Its purpose was to provide archaeologists with descriptive data to identify locations of source materials most likely used by the aboriginal inhabitants of the Great Basin. This field guide...
