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.

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...
