A Class III Cultural Resources Reconnaissance of 111 Orthophoto Panel Points for the Yucca Mountain Project

Part of the Nellis Air Force Base (DRAFT) project

Author(s): Gregory H. Henton

Year: 1990

Summary

Environmental (archaeological) support was requested from Holmes & Narver, Inc. (H&N) through the Department of Energy (DOE) in establishing control points for conducting an aerial survey covering the Yucca Mountain Project area. One hundred eleven (111) onhophoto panel points were ground located (Figure 1). A total of nine small archaeological sites were recorded. These sites consisted of isolated artifacts and clusters of up to eight artifacts. The aerial control points were placed at least 15 m from the sites, and the research potential of all sites have been exhausted by recording, so there will be no detrimental impacts to the archaeological resources due to project related planned activities.
