Effective Hydration Temperature and Relative Humidity Variation within the Nevada Test and Training Range, Southern Nevada (2006)
Many obsidian artifacts are found at archaeological sites within the Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR) and Nevada Test Site (NTS) because of the proximity of several geological sources of obsidian. These artifacts are datable using the obsidian hydration dating method, but effective hydration temperature (EHT) and relative humidity (rH) are significant extrinsic variables affecting hydration rates and, thus, age estimates of artifacts based on hydration rind thickness. Saline diffusion cells...

An Ethnoarchaeological Survey of West Pahute Mesa, Nevada Test and Training Range (2002)
The results of this survey is the first attempt to create such a model which attempts to empirically identify, measure, analyze, and then interpret the cultural resources discovered within a portion of the south-central Great Basin region. This survey will be undertaken within an ethnoarchaeological approach.
Ethnohistoric Period Winter Camps In The South-Central Great Basin: An Archaeological Guide (2003)
Inductive and deductive reasoning were used to identify the ethnohistoric period winter camp site type in the south-central Great Basin. Visits to some sites near springs, previously recorded as dwellings built by historic ranchers and miners, yielded visual anomalies in coursed stone structures suggesting that the most recent ancestors of regional Native Americans may have constructed the features. Extensive document research resulted in a compilation of data used to develop an ethnohistoric...

An Evaluation of the Ability of Commercial High-Resolution Multispectral Remote-Sensing Satellite Data to Identify Archaeological Resources (2006)
An evaluation of the ability of low-cost commercial satellite multispectral imagery to identify ephemeral archaeological surface sites was undertaken on the Nevada Test and Training Range in Nevada. Archaeological data from field inventories were used as a control sample. Using the QuickBird II sensor, significant differences were identified in mean reflectance in the blue, green, and near-infrared bands between on-site pixels and adjacent off-site pixels on a single site with the densest...

A Field Test of the Traveler-Processor Model on the South Range, Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada (2001)
A cultural resources inventory of areas in the Spotted Range, Indian Springs Valley, and Three Lakes Valley in the South Range of the Nevada Test and Training Range was conducted in accordance with sections 106 and 110 of the National Historic Preservation Act. Ten prehistoric archaeological sites were recorded. These consist of open-air and rockshelter sites containing primarily lithic artifacts. The research focus of the study was to test several implications of Bettinger and Baumhoff’s...

Final Wherry and Capehart Housing Historic Building Inventory and Evaluation Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada (2004)
This report inventories and develops the historic context for buildings and structures associated with the Capehart and Wherry Housing at Nellis Air Force Base (AFB), Nevada. All of the properties were constructed during the Cold War era in American history, and are directly associated with the military’s efforts to provide housing pursuant to the Wherry Act, Public Law 211, by the 81st Congress on August 8, 1949, and the Capehart Act passed on August 11, 1955.
Fingerprints in the Great Basin: The Nellis Air Force Base Regional Obsidian Sourcing Study (2005)
To support the work involved in developing a PA, Nellis AFB determined that the area of research should be expanded for the entire north NTTR, 2 million acres, a region of intense volcanism. In 2000, the Air Force funded a large-scale scientific investigation of obsidian and its human associations on 2 million acres on the NTTR, the largest study done in terms of acreage and numbers of artifacts analyzed.
Five Pits for Use on US95 (1984)
The project involves the use of five material pits near Scottys Junction for the repair of existing highways. This use will involve the use of heavy equipment to excavate, crush, sort, haul and process gravel for use in asphalt mix. Tile purpose of the survey is to determine if there are cultural resources to be affected by the excavation of these pits.
