Cultural Resources Inventory of the Central Mojave and Colorado Desert Regions, California

摘要

A Class II field inventory to sample approximately 2-1/2 million acres of the California Desert was accomplished. A multistage sampling strategy was implemented, a geoarchaeological study of five dry lakes was performed, a historic sites inventory was conducted and a limited pottery collection was made. Field survey of 168 transects resulted in the discovery of 75 previously unrecorded cultural resource sites.
