Kawich Valley (Geographic Keyword)
1-12 (12 Records)
The resource document was produced in response to the preparation of an LEIS for the Nellis Air Force Range Renewal, Nevada. The consultation focused specifically on the proposed action and alternatives concerning the future renewal of the NAFR. However, the present CGTO's response to this consultation is not limited to the LEIS, but also integrates relevant recommendations and insights made by Indian people based on previous and existing federal projects in which American Indians participated.

A Class III Archaeological Survey in Sample Unit U19ax, Pahute and Rainier Mesas, Nevada Test Site, Nye County, Nevada (1991)
The PA implements the Long Range Study Plan (LRSP), in which an 11 % sample of the NTS wIII be investigated for cultural resources. In accordance with this sampling strategy, sample unit U19ax (Figure 1 & 2) was surveyed by the Desert Research Institute (DRI) for archaeological properties. The U19ax sample unit is an area of 914 m by 579 m (3000 ft x 1900 ft). However, a large part of the sample unit was previous surveyed under the U19an and U19ba projects. Therefore, this U19ax sample unit...
A Class III Cultural Resources Reconnaissance for the Site 5 West Facility, Nellis Air Force Range, Nye County, Nevada (1995)
Areas of survey included a pad, a powerline/access road connecting to an existing powerline and maintained gravel road north of the project area, and a cable way between the existing Site 5 and Site 5 West. All three areas were surveyed for cultural resources by pedestrian transects spaced 15 m ( 49 ft) apart. The cultural resources reconnaissance found one small locality (26NY8848) and two isolated artifacts (110994HD01 and 110994HD02). No buildings, structures, or foundations were identified...
Class III Cultural Resources Survey at Three Alternative Locations for the Proposed P-46 Facility, Tonopah Test Range, Nye County, Nevada (1996)
Based on previous studies in the vicinity of all three alternative locations for the P46 facility, it was anticipated that each area could contain prehistoric and/or historic age remains, but that these remains should not be very large nor complex. Pedestrian surveys at both alternative locations A and B failed to disclose any cultural remains and only one cultural resource, a small rock cairn situated in a shallow bedrock depression (26NY9309), was found at the Alternative C locality.
Class III Cultural Resources Survey For Upgrading the GRl-l Facility Pad, Nevada Test and Training Range, Nye County, Nevada (2007)
The U. S. Air Force (USAF) proposes to upgrade the existing GRl-l facility pad on the Nevada Test and Training Range (Figure 1). This upgrade will entail enlarging the existing pad to encompass approximately an additional 2 hectare (5 acre) area beyond the eastern edge of that pad. Although cultural resource surveys have previously been conducted along the power line which runs along this eastern boundary, the original GRl-1 pad, established in 1978, was never evaluated for the presence of...
A Class III Inventory of 490 Acres for Target Reconfigurations on Range 74, Nevada Test and Training Range, Nye County, Nevada (2001)
Nellis Air Force Base proposes reconfigurations of five targets on Range 74, in Kawich Valley, on the north Nevada Test and Training Range. The Area of Potential Effect (APE) for each target is listed in Table 1, with a total acreage of 490. Survey parcels are presented graphically in Map 1.

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...

Research Design For An Archaeological Characterization Study On Portions of Belted Range and Kawich Valley (Range 74) Nevada Test and Training Range (2009)
An ongoing task of cultural resource inventories on the NTTR is the characterization of various numbered ranges and/or environmental regions as archaeological landscapes. How to characterize an archaeological region is an intentionally vague and open-ended question. This engenders a variety of research approaches that in turn generate data on a range of topics relevant to the study of prehistory and ethnography in the southern Great Basin and northern Mojave Desert.
A Research Design to Conduct an Archaeological Characterization Study of the Belted Range and Southern Kawich Valley, Nevada Test and Training Range, Nellis Air Force Base (2010)
Far Western Anthropological Research Group, Inc. (Far Western), was retained by Nellis Air Force Base (AFB) to complete a research design to conduct an archaeological characterization study of the Belted Range and southern Kawich Valley as part of the Air Force’s ongoing Section 110 compliance. The following research design includes a synthesis of existing data on the environmental context and known archaeology of the area, and provides an issue-oriented research and sampling methodology for...
