Project Lame 80F: A Cultural Resource Survey Around Boulder Beach, Echo Bay, Temple Bar and Cottonwood Cove in the Lake Mead National Recreation Area Clark County, Nevada and Mohave County, Arizona

摘要

The prehistoric and historic archeological resources located by an intensive survey of four marinas at Lake Mead National Recreation Area, Boulder Beach, Echo Bay, Temple Bar, and Cottonwood Cove, are described in this report. A total of 6.25 square miles were surveyed, and 16 new archeological resources were added to 10 others that had been identified by previous investigations. The report concludes that many of the cultural activities prior to 1940 are related to a transient demographic pattern caused by exploiting geological resources. Aboriginally this is expressed by large lithic quarries and mining areas. Historically, it is expressed by subsequent mining and the development of Hoover Dam.
