The downtown district sits at the historic center of Fallon, which is near the geographic center of Churchill County and the Lahontan Valley, the terminus of the Carson River. The Carson River runs just one mile north of the historic district, emptying into the Carson Sink northeast of the city. Mountain ranges such as the Dead Camel, Hot Springs, Desert, and Stillwater Ranges ring the Valley. Farmland, most of it irrigated as part of the Newlands (or Truckee-Carson) Irrigation District, surround most of the community. The historic district includes a total of 124 resources distributed along the three primary corridors of commercial, industrial, and warehousing development in Fallon. Maine Street anchors the district as the historic north-south corridor for the downtown area. Secondary but significant corridors include Center Street, which was the route of the Lincoln Highway through Fallon in the early-twentieth century, and Williams Avenue, which included portions of the historic Lincoln Highway corridor, and is the current alignment of U.S. Highway 50. The nominated area includes commercial, industrial, and warehouse buildings as well as surviving social institutions, public facilities, and some residential buildings along these commercial corridors. The district includes an array of early- and mid-twentieth century buildings and structures, dominated by simplified one-part commercial block buildings,

    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.

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.

  • Section 106 Consultation
    Jan 28, 2009 Ms. Rebecca Ossa State Historic Preservation Office 100N. Stewart Street Carson City, Nevada 89701 RE: Section 106 Consultation for proposed Replacement Airport Traffic Control Tower, Administrative Base Building and Parking Structure Construction at McCarran International Airport, Las Vegas, Nevada Dear Ms. Ossa: This letter is in response to your request of October 8, 2008 for additional items in regard to the FAA’s Section 106 consultation packet sent to your office on September 4, 2008. Thank you for your explanation of the additional items you are requesting during our phone conversation on January 13, 2009. I have gathered together some data that hopefully will answer your questions. For the purposes of preliminary analysis, I have assumed a similar indirect APE size to that used by the FCC for a tower height of 200 to 400 feet. This equates to a circular area with a radius of .75 miles (or 1131 acres). I overlaid this circle on a map and was able to eliminate approximately 270 degrees of that circle because the airport property itself takes up most of that land. In my attached satellite and assessor’s map view you will see the remaining 282 acre arc. Since I do not have on-site personnel to take photos, I used Google "Street View" to generate the enclosed pictures. These show a sampling of the neighborhood architecture and existing setting characteristics. Attached is a report generated by the Clark County Assessor’s office that lists all of the parcel numbers within the indirect effects APE and their corresponding construction dates.
