A Class III Cultural Resources Reconnaissance for the Proposed Placement of a Watering Trough on the Nellis Air Force Base, Nye County, Nevada
Summary
The Nellis Air Force Base proposes to develop Cliff Spring and place a semi-permanent to permanent water source for wild horses approximately one kilometer south-west of Cliff Spring. The placement of this new watering station is not covered under the data recovery plan for the mitigation of effects on the Cliff Spring Site, 26Ny377 (Rhode and Amick 1990), and also was not covered under previous surveys conducted by ORI (Rhode 1989). Consequently, a cultural resource survey was conducted to identify any cultural resources that may exist in the proposed impact areas, and to evaluate the potential for adverse effects to those cultural resources resulting from the developmental activities. The survey of the area revealed that abundant cultural remains were present in the area of proposed disturbance. A diffuse prehistoric and historic scatter extends for 1.2 kilometers along the existing road leading to Cliff Spring.
