Summary

The Desert Research Institute (DRI) was requested by the Department of Energy, Nevada Operations Office (DOE/NV) to conduct a cultural resources reconnaissance of the proposed underground test area (UGTA) subproject well 12 pad and access road on the Nellis Air Force Range (NAFR) EC South. The DOE/NV, through its UGTA project, is proposing to conduct a well drilling campaign to characterize the area between western Pahute Mesa and Oasis Valley. The data acquired will assist the DOE/NV to understand and model the hydrogeologic regime underlying Pahute Mesa. Reconnaissance of the well 12 project area revealed one site and one isolate along the northern end of the proposed access road (Figure 2). Site 26NY10965 is a diffuse lithic scatter, and isolate I111797RJ02 is an obsidian core reduction flake. Site 26NY10965 is not recommended by DRI as potentially eligible to the National Register of Historic Places (NR).
