This study documents comparative results of four petroglyph and/or pictograph sites: two on Nellis Air Force Range and two on adjacent Nellis AFR aircraft overflight lands administered by the BLM. A fifth cultural resources site, situated east of Beatty, Nevada, was studied as a control site for the sonic boom aspect of the study. Work focused on determining aircraft conic boom effects on sonic boom effects on rock formations containing petroglyphs/pictographs and contrasting the two differing...
