Class III Cultural Resources Survey For Upgrading the GRl-l Facility Pad, Nevada Test and Training Range, Nye County, Nevada
Summary
The U. S. Air Force (USAF) proposes to upgrade the existing GRl-l facility pad on the Nevada Test and Training Range (Figure 1). This upgrade will entail enlarging the existing pad to encompass approximately an additional 2 hectare (5 acre) area beyond the eastern edge of that pad. Although cultural resource surveys have previously been conducted along the power line which runs along this eastern boundary, the original GRl-1 pad, established in 1978, was never evaluated for the presence of historic properties. The Desert Research Institute conducted cultural resource surveys in both the area around the existing GRl-1 facility pad and in the 2 hectare (5 acre) area proposed for expansion of that pad. Only one cultural resource, an obsidian bifacial thinning flake, was found in this surveyed area and it is recommended that the proposed expansion of the existing GR1-l facility pad will have no effect on historic properties.
