Literature cited
"An archaeological survey was conducted to define the prehistoric settlement pattern operating in the Reese River Valley, central Nevada. A series of potential site "loci." were initially predicted using several geographic microtopographic criteria. Then a 12-mile-long strip of pinion-juniper woodland was surveyed for archaeological sites. A total of 65 prehistoric sites was located and mapped along the pifion ecotone, and more than 450 time-sensitive artifacts were recovered from these sites. The archaeological sites occurred at the predicted locations more than 95 percent of the time, demonstrating the validity of the polythetic criteria."
