Nellis Air Force Range archaeological sites are compared with Bureau of Land Management sites in southwestern Nevada based on data collected from site records and site visits. Of 105 sample sites, 86 were evaluated based only on site forms. Nineteen sites were visited; four were examined in detail. Data showed a trend towards NAFR sites being less disturbed and in better condition. NAFR has more sites in “excellent” condition than BLM; the proportion of disturbed BLM sites is greater than NAFR...
Class III Cultural Resources Reconnaissance for the Proposed TPK-38 Facility, Tolicha Peak Electronic Combat Range, Nye County, Nevada (1996)
The U.S. Air Force proposes to construct a 60 x 60 m (200 x 200 ft) facility pad, designated TPK-38, on the Tolicha Peak Electronic Combat Range (TPECR) to house the existing S13 radar unit now located at TPK-6 (Figure 1). The moving of this unit is necessary because of the congestion around the existing TPK-6 facility pad due to the recent construction of TPK-40 (see Drollinger 1995, Pippin 1995b). Two alternative locations have been proposed for the TPK-38 facility pad.
Class III Cultural Resources Reconnaissance for the TPK-58 Facility and Cable Tray, Nellis Air Force Range, Nye County, Nevada (1996)
The Desert Research Institute (DRI) was tasked to conduct cultural resources reconnaissances of the proposed project area. The area of potential effect (APE), approximately 1.5 hectares, was inspected for cultural resources by parallel, pedestrian transects spaced about 30 m (100 ft) apart. The cultural resources reconnaissance found one lithic scatter (26NY9844), consisting of two obsidian core reduction flakes, and an isolated rock cairn (26NY9845). Neither of these two localities are...
A Cultural Resource Inventory of the Tolicha Peak Gravel Pit Project Area (1991)
Environmental Solutions, Inc. conducted archival research and an intensive pedestrian survey for historic properties within the Tolicha Peak Gravel Pit project area within the Nellis Air Force military reservation. Encompassing approximately 96,624 m2 (24 acres), the project area is situated along the southern perimeter of the Nellis North Range northwest of the town of Beatty in Nye County, Nevada. The research efforts resulted in the conclusion that the project area is devoid of cultural...
