Nellis Air Force Base: An Intuitive Review of Records for Complex Sites on the Nevada Test and Training Range
Summary
This study is a discriminating view of archaeological site records from Nellis Air Force Base. Records were selected based on defined criteria, experience of the land, and knowledge of the varied abilities of the many archaeologists who worked on this Air Force range over 35 years. This differs from statistical analyses where sites are ranked by accepting all data on site records as relatively equal. From a universe of 2,065 records, 244 were selected using intuitive criteria that reflected an understanding of the differences in research over 35 years and the abilities of the archaeologists. The data identified 10 zones of high aboriginal activity. Several are associated with known highly valued resources, yet questions for research may be formed for those in which obvious valued resources are not easily identified.
