Summary
Since the early 1970s, the Bureau of Land Management has been involved in what has come to be known as "cultural resource management", which is "the development and maintenance of programs designed to protect, preserve and/or scientifically study cultural resources.. . and the natural resource that figures scientifically in cultural systems" (USDI, Bureau of Land Management, Nevada State Office Information Memorandum No. NSO 76-59:3). This involves the survey of lands subject to impact through Bureau initiated or sponsored projects, the identification and recording of sites, and the development of mitigative measures to avoid or minimize the impacts of land altering activities on archaeological sites. This paper is an attempt to review the existing data for the Las Vegas Valley and suggest a set of research questions and orientations to guide work in the subject area.
