摘要

The report describes the results of the LAME 86A project and two earlier developed areas surveys, and provides a complete record of surveys at Lake Mead. One of the previous surveys was the LAME 80A project, a survey of the Willow Beach developed area. Eight prehistoric sites and one historic period mine were recorded. The second was the LAME 80F project, a survey of four developed areas: Boulder Beach, Echo Bay, Temple Bar and Cottonwood Cove. Ten prehistoric sites and six historic sites were recorded. The LAME 86A project resulted in the discovery of 12 prehistoric lithic reduction sites and 88 artifact scatters or isolated features; 3 historic period sites and 23 features or trash scatters were also found.
