A Class III Cultural Resources Reconnaissance of Three Environmental Reclamation Characterization Wells On the Nevada Test Site and Nellis Air Force Base, Nye County, Nevada

Part of the Nellis Air Force Base (DRAFT) project

Author(s): Alvin R. McLane

Year: 1990

Summary

Five archaeological sites were identified on ER-17-1 including three isolated artifacts and two localities of indeterminate function. Four isolated artifacts were recorded in the area of the ER-AF-3 pad, while four isolates, seven extractive loci, and two sites of indeterminate function were recorded along the access road. No cultural resources were encountered during the survey of ER-12-1. None of the recorded sites were judged to be eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places, so no additional archaeological work will be necessary at these locations.
