A Cultural Resource Investigation of the Proposed Nevada State Prison Site Near Indian Springs, Clark County, Nevada
Summary
In early April of 1980, the Archaeological Research Center, a Division of the Museum of Natural History, University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) received a·request from Mr. William Hannocock, State of Nevada, Department of Public Works, to conduct an archaeological survey in the Indian Springs area, Clark County, Nevada. The project area to be surveyed is proposed as the location of a new Nevada State prison. The cost estimate for the archaeological-survey was submitted by the Research Center to Mr. Hanncock at the Public Works Office and the proposal was accepted. The archaeological survey was then assigned Project Number 79-7.
The cultural resource survey was undertaken·to determine the possibility of any culturally significant materials in the project location. The survey was designed to inventory any cultural values, historic or prehistoric and, if found, to offer alternative mitigation measures related to their potential significance. There were no significant prehistoric findings and the few scattered waste flakes found did not constitute a site. No diagnostic artifacts or archaeological sites were encountered.
