    University of Nevada, Reno A Natural and Cultural History of Leonard Rockshelter, Nevada A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Anthropology By Sara N. Sturtz Dr. Geoffrey Smith/Thesis Advisor May, 2020 THE GRADUATE SCHOOL We recommend that the thesis prepared under our supervision by entitled be accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Advisor Committee Member Graduate School Representative David W. Zeh, Ph.D., Dean Graduate School i ABSTRACT Leonard Rockshelter (LRS) is located in Pershing County, Nevada. Robert Heizer excavated the site in 1950 and reported more than 2 m of stratified deposits from which he recovered a modest assemblage of perishable and lithic artifacts. Of interest to the University of Nevada Reno’s Great Basin Paleoindian Research Unit (GBPRU) was Heizer’s discovery of obsidian flakes in deposits dated to 11,199±570 14C BP (14,900- 11,610 cal BP). This possibility of a stratified Pleistocene occupation prompted the GBPRU to return to LRS in 2018 and 2019 for additional work, which produced few artifacts but a sizeable small mammal assemblage. In this thesis, I test two hypotheses: (1) the small mammal assemblage provides a paleoenvironmental record that demonstrates changing local conditions during the Terminal Pleistocene and Holocene; and (2) the shelter contains evidence of human occupation dating to the Terminal Pleistocene. My results demonstrate that the Early Holocene and initial Middle Holocene were more mesic than later periods. They also suggest that people did not occupy LRS until the Early Holocene, after which time they periodically returned to the site.

    CHAPTER 3 AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT 3.1 INTRODUCTION This chapter identifies and describes the current condition and trend of elements or resources in the human environment which may be affected by the Proposed Action or Alternatives. Scoping and Issues Identification In accordance with NEPA, this document has been prepared with input from interested agencies, organizations, tribes, and individuals. Details of the scoping and public involvement process are discussed in detail in Section 1.4, Public Involvement, and Chapter 7, Consultation, Coordination and Preparation. In addition to the public scoping, the BLM‘s Interdisciplinary Team and the cooperating agencies were consulted to determine specific resource concerns. The issues and concerns identified during scoping, which were outlined in Table 1-2, have been considered in the preparation of this EIS. The general topic issues include the following: Energy supply to the Fallon area; Increased risk for earthquakes; Visual/aesthetic impacts; Water rights; Water supply; Water quality; Current and future management of Carson Lake and Pasture; Protection of Newlands Project facilities; Geothermal resource drainage; and Effects on operations at NAS Fallon. Setting The Salt Wells Energy Projects Area is located south of Fallon, in Churchill County, Nevada. This area lies between approximately 3,900 and 4,600 feet above mean sea level (amsl) with distinct topographic changes between the flat playas, agricultural areas, and steep terrain of the Bunejug Mountains.

Fowler SERIES PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Emphasis upon publication as a means of "diffusing knowledge" was ex­ pressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian. In his formal plan for the Institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowl­ edge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Folklife Studies Smithsonian Studies in Air and Space Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale mono­ graphs that report the research and collections of its various museums and bureaux or of professional colleagues in the world of science and scholarship. The publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institutions throughout the world. Papers or monographs submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Press, subject to its own review for format and style, only through departments of the various Smithsonian museums or bureaux, where the manuscripts are given substantive review.

  • Fallon Range Training Complex Modernization Final Environmental
    3.12 Recreation No Action Alternative Under the No Action Alternative, the 1999 Congressional land withdrawal of 201,933 acres from public domain (Public Law 106-65) would expire on November 5, 2021, and military training activities requiring the use of these public lands would cease. Expiration of the land withdrawal would terminate the Navy’s authority to use nearly all of the Fallon Range Training Complex’s (FRTC’s) bombing ranges, affecting nearly 62 percent of the land area currently available for military aviation and ground training activities in the FRTC. Alternative 1 – Modernization of the Fallon Range Training Complex Under Alternative 1, the Navy would request Congressional renewal of the 1999 Public Land Withdrawal of 202,864 acres, which is scheduled to expire in November 2021. The Navy would request that Congress withdraw and reserve for military use approximately 618,727 acres of additional Federal land and acquire approximately 65,157 acres of non-federal land. Range infrastructure would be constructed to support modernization, including new target areas, and expand and reconfigured existing Special Use Airspace (SUA) to accommodate the expanded bombing ranges. Implementation of Alternative 1 would potentially require the reroute of State Route 839 and the relocation of a portion of the Paiute Pipeline. Public access to B-16, B- 17, and B-20 would be restricted for security and to safeguard against potential hazards associated with military activities. The Navy would not allow mining or geothermal development within the proposed bombing ranges or the Dixie Valley Training Area (DVTA). Under Alternative 1, the Navy would use the modernized FRTC to conduct aviation and ground training of the same general types and at the same tempos as analyzed in Alternative 2 of the 2015 Military Readiness Activities at Fallon Range Training Complex, Nevada, Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).

  • Places in Nevada Listed in the National Register of Historic Places
    National Register of Historic Places - Nevada (eff. November 3, 2020) (Listed alphabetically by County, City, then Resource Name) Certain sites listed below have been determined as archaeologically or culturally sensitive and their locations are confidential as a condition of the Archaeological Resources Protection Act of 1979. Collecting artifacts from public land without a permit from the managing agency is looting, and is a felony under federal law [43 CFR 7 ] and a misdemeanor under state law [ NRS 383.435]. Looting destroys the ability of archaeologists to research these important places and robs future generations of the opportunity to keep learning about Nevada’s past. Please help us preserve important archaeological sites by leaving artifacts where you found them and reporting looting to the appropriate law enforcement officials.
