Class III Cultural Resources Reconnaissance of a Proposed Sewage Lagoon, Sewer Line, Haul Road, and Borrow Pit on the Tonopah Test Range, Nye County, Nevada
Summary
The Department of Energy has requested that DRI perform an archaeological survey of an expanded sewage treatment system at the Tonopah Test Range. During this survey nine archaeological sites were found. Of this number four were collected. It is proposed that the remaining five sites do not require preservation due to their small size, and similarity to many other sites in the immediate area, one of which has been systematically collected. Because of the possibility of buried archaeological components in this area due to the deposition of at least 20 cm of recent alluvium, it is proposed that a geological archaeologist visit the sewer line excavation before it is filled in to gain a better understanding of the depositional processes that have taken place in this area.
