Part of the Nellis Air Force Base (DRAFT) project

Author(s): Stephen R. Durand; Ronald L. Reno; Alvin R. McLane

Year: 1988

Summary

The National Park Service, Western Region (NPSWR), contracted with the Social Sciences Center, Desert Research Institute (ORI), Reno, Nevada to perform cultural resources surveys of six areas north of Nellis Air Force Base for scheduled Patriot - Hawk exercises. With the exception of the Hawk South area (Nellis AFB), all the parcels are managed by the BLM. Five archaeological sites were found in the course of the survey. Four of the sites are isolated occurrences. One site is a small lithic scatter with no features or diagnostic artifacts present. The isolates are not considered to be eligible for the National Register of Historic Places and the lithic scatter is probably not eligible; however, further inventory /evaluation in this area is recommended. This report documents the findings of the survey of these six areas.
