A Class III Cultural Resources Reconnaissance of 11 Proposed USGS Seismic Stations in Southern Nevada, in Support of Yucca Mountain Site Characterization Activities (1991)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Paul E. Buck.

Three archaeological sites were recorded in or near the project areas. Site 26NY7969 is a small lithic scatter located near station D-41; the station was subsequently moved from the original location to avoid disturbing the site. Site 26NY7970 is an historic site at D-40 consisting of a mine shaft or adit without associated artifacts and is not considered significant. Site 26NY7971 is a prehistoric site consisting of a lithic scatter with an associated rock alignment near D-10. The final...

DOCUMENT Full-Text Barbara A. Holz. Harold Drollinger. Colleen M. Beck. William Gray Johnson. Anne Dubarton.

The data acquired will assist DOE/NV to understand and model the hydrogeologic regime underlying Pahute Mesa. Reconnaissance of the Area of Potential Effect (APE) for the ER-EC-5 project revealed 12 sites, 2 isolated cairns, 2 isolated cache/cairns and 7 isolated artifacts.


A Class III Cultural Resources Reconnaissance of the Proposed Underground Test Area Well ER-EC-3 Pad, Borrow Pit and Access Road on Nellis Air Force Range EC South, Nye County, Nevada (1998)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Barbara A. Holz. Robert C. Jones. Harold Drollinger. Colleen M. Beck. Anne DuBarton.

DOE/NV is proposing to drill several wells to characterize the area between western Pahute Mesa and Oasis Valley. The data acquired wIII assist DOE/NV to understand and model the hydrogeologic regime underlying Pahute Mesa. Reconnaissance of the Area of Potential Effect (APE) for the EREC-3 project revealed two sites, 26NY11017 and 26NY11018, and nine isolated artifacts. The sites are not considered eligible to the National Register of Historic Places (NR). Therefore, DRI recommends that the...

DOCUMENT Full-Text Barbara A. Holz. Harold Drollinger. Colleen M. Beck. Anne DuBarton.

DOE/NV is proposing to drill several wells to characterize the area between western Pahute Mesa and Oasis Valley. The data acquired will assist DOE/NV to understand and model the hydrogeologic regime underlying Pahute Mesa. Reconnaissance of the Area of Potential Effect (APE) of the ER-EC-7 project revealed one site 26NY10972, a small locality, one isolated feature 1120997RJ02, a rock cairn/cache, along the northern side of the proposed access road (Figures 2 and 3). Site 26NY10972 is not...


Research Design Archaeological Characterization Sampling For the EC South Range, Nevada Test and Training Range, Nellis Air Force Base (2008)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Marcus Grant.

The purpose of this project is to conduct a characterization sampling study for the EC South which includes a portion of Quartz Mountain. They are mountainous areas that research has demonstrated has high potential for identifying significant sites. This project is a 4% sample of 200,000 acres to identify eligible sites for preservation, management with the mission, and Native American visitation.
