An Archaeologist's Field Guide to Playa Features Nellis Air Force Base
Summary
The purpose of this document is to offer archaeologists a basis for understanding natural features in playa systems. Nellis Air Force Base previously commissioned a study that describes in text and photographs the geology for source materials on the NTTR and in the southern Nevada region (Dickerson 2003). Its purpose was to provide archaeologists with descriptive data to identify locations of source materials most likely used by the aboriginal inhabitants of the Great Basin. This field guide builds on that work by providing archaeologists with a more intensive method of separating human-made features from naturally occurring features. It describes features observed on 10 of the playas on the NTTR and presents detailed photographs for each feature. This guide is considered an addendum to the NAFB Cultural Resources Management Plan (NAFB 2007).
