A parcel of land situated in the Springs Preserve, Las Vegas Valley, Nevada, has been designated as the future site of an interpretive center. Although the site in question is located in an area devoid of vegetation, the Las Vegas Valley Water District aims to ensure that animal habitats in the region are not affected by the construction. In order to maintain the fox population in The Preserve, ten seed samples extracted from gray or red fox scat were submitted for identification. The seed...

In early 1986, archeologists from the Western Archeological and Conservation Center (WACC), National Park Service (NPS), surveyed developed areas and other high-use areas within Lake Mead National Recreation Area (NRA). The 1986 Archeological Survey of Developed Areas was designated project LAME 86A. This report describes the results of the LAME 86A project and two earlier developed areas surveys, and so provides a complete record of such surveys at Lake Mead. One of the previous surveys was...

Salt River Project has constructed a 500kV transmission line from Boulder City, Nevada, to near Phoenix, Arizona; Site 26CK3216 was first recorded by the Museum of Northern Arizona (MNA) during archaeological survey of the Mead to Phoenix right-of-way (Keller 1986). The site was originally recommended for data recovery but was determined ineligible for the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), and construction proceeded without additional investigation. Biologists monitoring the Mead to...

SWCA, Inc., Environmental Consultants (SWCA), conducted a comprehensive Class III archaeological survey of expanded right-of-way at eight point-of-turn towers as part of ongoing cultural resources compliance for the Mead to Phoenix 500kV Transmission line project (Figure 1). These activities constituted only one phase of cultural resource compliance for this project undertaken by SWCA for Salt River Project (SRP). Other phases relevant to this project include relocation and re-evaluation (Anduze...

Salt River Project is constructing a 500kV transmission line along a 250-mile right-of-way from the Marketplace Substation to the Mead Substation, both near Boulder City, Nevada, to the Westwing Substation northwest of Phoenix, Arizona, near Sun City. The right-of-way is adjacent to and parallels the existing Mead to Liberty 345kV Transmission Line for most of the project area. A 200-foot right-of-way was previously surveyed by the Museum of Northern Arizona (Keller 1986). The present project...

Salt River Project constructed a 500kV transmission line from Boulder City, Nevada, to near Phoenix, Arizona, during which SWCA, Inc., Environmental Consultants, monitored construction at 20 previously recorded archaeological sites. Monitoring took the form of damage assessments at six sites and one non-site location, active monitoring of construction at 15 sites, inspections of site conditions and reflagging at two sites, and examination of possible human remains and monitoring at one location...

Western Area Power Administration (Western), Salt River Project (SRP), Southern California Public Power Authority (SCPPA) and M-S-R Public Power Agency (Modesto-Santa Clara-Redding) propose to construct, operate and maintain a ±500kV direct current (DC) transmission line from the Phoenix area in Arizona to the Mead Substation near Boulder City, Nevada (see Figure 2-1). The proposal includes a ±500kV DC transmission line, two terminal facilities, associated communication facilities, and ground...

The land use study was conducted by Wirth Associates as a portion of the environmental studies for the proposed Western Area Power Administration (Western), Southern California Public Power Authority (SCPPA) and the Salt River Project (SRP) Mead to Phoenix Area ±500kV DC Transmission Line Project. This report is composed of inventory and impact assessment sections for the alternative 500kV transmission corridors between the Mead Substation and the Westwing Substation in addition to the proposed...

The purpose of this study was to project the levels of archaeological and historical sensitivity and determine relative levels of impacts that could potentially occur with the introduction of the proposed Mead to Phoenix ±500kV DC Transmission Line. The results of the regional study, conducted from July through September of 1982, identifies previously recorded archaeological and historical sites, predicts areas where encountering sites are probable and establishes criteria to determine the...

This report expands and elaborates on an earlier model that predicted locations of prehistoric archaeology at Stillwater Marsh by analyzing the economic foraging potential of resource distributions there. A preliminary survey of selected lands administered by three federal agencies determined the predictive power of the model.

Excavations of the Round Mountain Gold Corporation Shoshone Creek Data Recovery Project have exposed a large paleo-channel or levee, a cache of flakes, multiple thermal features, and a possible midden or occupation surface at the site. Samples including a soil sample from a hearth, a fire-altered rock from another hearth, and a ceramic fragment were submitted from Site CrNV-61-8850 for phytolith and starch analysis to better understand economic activities at this site.

Stratigraphic pollen samples from two prehistoric sites in Eureka County, Nevada, located near the Humboldt River, were examined to provide information concerning vegetation growing at the time these sites were occupied. Site 26Eu3654, a small, dispersed lithic scatter was located on an alluvial fan south of the Humboldt River, while site 26Eu3655, another dispersed lithic scatter, was situated on a small knoll south of the river. Five pollen samples were examined from each site.

Sediment samples from prehistoric sites 26CK3799, 26CK4908, and 26CK4415 were examined for pollen and macrofloral remains. A rock with residue from a roasting pit at 26CK4908 also was washed for phytoliths. Site 26CK3799 represents a temporary resource procurement and processing area, while 26CK4908 is a rockshelter and roasting pit complex. Site 26CK4415 consists of a small rockshelter that contained a large packrat nest. Pollen, phytolith, and macrofloral analyses at these sites will be used...

Thirteen sediment samples were submitted for combined pollen, starch, phytolith, and calcium oxalate analysis in an effort to identify the presence of mesquite at any of the six archaeological sites examined (26CK5986, 26CK6001, 26CK5984, 26CK1285, 26CK1138, and 26CK1120). Although all sites share the common goal of finding evidence of mesquite, the features sampled vary by site. At 26CK1120, two cleared circles were of the type that knowledgeable Native Americans indicate might have been...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Paper / Report Submission (General Sessions)", at the 2024 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Hard-rock mines in the 19th- and early 20th- century employed full-time on-site blacksmiths who sharpened massive numbers of drill bits each day. The archaeological and architectural traces of on-site blacksmiths at Nevada mine sites are relatively easy to identify during field surveys, although they may be overlooked when...
