Quartz Mountain (Geographic Keyword)
1-2 (2 Records)
All three of these originally-proposed alignments have been surveyed for cultural resources by the Desert Research Institute (DRI). This reconnaissance revealed 57 archaeological sites and 16 isolated artifacts, most of which were found along the 34.5 Kv alignment. Of the sites found, 35 are recommended to be considered eligible to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).
Research Design Archaeological Characterization Sampling For the EC South Range, Nevada Test and Training Range, Nellis Air Force Base (2008)
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.
