Lakes, Wetlands, and Meadows: Past Climate and Environments of the Playas on the Nevada Test and Training Range, Nellis Air Force Base (2009)
Archaeologists are aware of the potential for late Pleistocene/early Holocene pluvial lake deposits to be associated with modern playas in the central and northern parts of the Great Basin.
