A Cultural Resources Survey of a Proposed Munitions Facility Indian Springs Air Force Auxiliary Airfield (1986)
As part of the environmental protection program of the U.S. Air Force, archaeologists from the Desert Research Institute's Social Sciences Center conducted a cultural resources survey at the Indian Springs Air Force Auxiliary Airfield (AFAF) in southern Nevada. The purpose of the survey was to examine whether or not cultural resources existed within the potential impact zone of a proposed munitions facility. this facility will consist of eight structures in an area of approximately 94 acres.

Delineation of Range 62 Target Disturbance Zone Nevada Test and Training Range, Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada (2002)
This document presents data to demonstrate that the expansion of reconfigured targets on and adjacent to Dog Bone Lake in Range 62 is within a zone of target disturbance created beginning in the late 1950’s. Following is a brief history of target uses, discussion of the cultural history and environment, sources used to identify the size and range of disturbance, definition of the Range 62 target disturbance zone, and results including the NAFB determination.
Delineation of Range 74 Kawich Valley Target Disturbance Zone Nevada Test and Training Range Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada (2004)
The goal of this study is to examine the status of cultural resources research and development of targets in the center portion of Kawich Valley. The project area or Area of Potential Effect (APE) for this review is called the Range 74 Kawich Valley Target Disturbance Zone (R74 TDZ), depicted in Maps 1 and 2 and defined as 51,000 acres in size. The purpose of this study was defined by five objectives. 1) Define the boundaries of the target zone in Kawich Valley, Range 74C, characterized by live...

District 4 Material Pit (1981)
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 for the Lack of Physical Integrity for the Cedar Pass Road Repair, Nevada Test and Training Range, Nye County, Nevada (2010)
The 98th Range Wing has proposed road repair of a 29-mile road segment from SR highway 375 in Railroad Valley, east-west to Cactus Flat. Its location crosses Cedar Pass in the Kawich Range in the northeast portion of the Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR), managed by Nellis Air Force Base. The existing paved road was created circa 1970. It is the sole and main artery to access the northeast portion of the NTTR. With substantial use, the road has become in disrepair and two individuals have...

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)
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 99th Range Wing has proposed an upgrade to Training Ranges 6 and 6A at the Silver Flag Alpha facilities 15 miles southeast of Indian Springs and Creech Air Force Base, Clark County, Nevada. The Area of Potential Effect is 45 acres. The location is shown in Maps 1 and 3. The upgrade would consist of excavating trenches, depicted in Feature 1, within the current boundaries of Ranges 6 and 6A. The APE has been used for small arms training for decades, thus unexploded ordnance remains. The...

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)
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)
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...
Early Man, Dry Lakes, and Target Disturbance Zones on Nellis Air Force Base Lands (2011)
Archaeological and cultural surveys have been done in the NAFB vicinity in order to open up more acreage for new target construction. Through these surveys NAFB hopes to find areas with the highest potential for mission expansion and the lowest potential for number and complexity of eligible archaeological sites.
