District 4 Material Pit (1981)
DOCUMENT Full-Text R. N. Dennis.

A material pit location was surveyed in March 1981. On the basis of the survey we found the 480 acre parcel to contain no cultural material whatsoever. We further recommend that this parcel be given cultural resource clearance on the basis of this survey. Should any prehistoric cultural remains be found at a later date, the NDOT Chief Archaeologist should be notified immediately.

Documentation of the Lack of Physical Integrity for a Silver Flag Alpha (Range 63C) Tent City, Nevada Test and Training Range, Nellis Air Force Base (2007)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Keith Myhrer.

A temporary facility called Tent City is proposed for construction in December 2007. The Area of Potential Effect is 60 acres and is entirely on previously disturbed land, depicted in Photos 1-4. The Area of Potential Effect lacks physical integrity and no historic properties would be affected by the temporary installation. NAFB has composed a Plan for inventory of 2,500 acres and 14.5 miles of historic railroad alignment for future training actions in the south portion of Silver Flag Alpha.


Documentation of the Lack of Physical Integrity for an Upgrade to Silver Flag Alpha Training in Ranges 6 and 6A, Nevada Test and Training Range Nellis Air Force Base (2007)

The Dry Lake Hydrologic Disturbance Evaluation Model: A New Method for Assessing Archaeological Integrity in Dry Lake Environments at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada (2006)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Christopher E. Drover. Amy Wilson. David M. Smith.

The NAFB is interested in streamlining the identification of cultural resources in playa areas to quickly clear them for training. The Dry Lake Hydrological Disturbance Evaluation Model is a quantitative process by which archaeologists can assess whether a cluster of artifacts is an intact, culturally significant site, or merely the eroded remnants of several sites, using concepts of geomorphology, hydrology, and statistics, minimizing the need for intense field surveys. Using the findings of...

Early Human Adaptations Along Dry Lake Shorelines in the Great Basin Archaeological Research on the Nevada Test and Training Range, Nellis Air Force Base (2011)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Bretton Somers. John Lindemuth.

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...
