A Class III Cultural Resources Reconnaissance of Drill Pad U20bb, Pahute Mesa, Nye County, Nevada
Summary
DOE plans to drill hole U20bb in Area 20 for the purpose of testing at nuclear device. Upon request by DOE, DRI surveyed previously un-surveyed areas within a 1500 foot radius of this hole for cultural resources. Four previously unrecorded archaeological sites were found during this survey, and one previously recorded site was relocated and expanded in size. All but two of these sites were collected during the reconnaissance. The remaining two sites are far enough away from proposed activity that there should be no difficulty involved with avoiding these two potentially significant archaeological sites.
