Fire on the Mountain: Roasting Pits in the Sheep Range on the Desert National Wildlife Refuge
… were likely the most commonly cooked. Within the Sheep Range in southern Nevada, more than 200 roasting pits were identified and 193 were subsequently documented in the field. Due to the accumulation of discarded materials surrounding the central cooking pit (e.g., spent rocks, organic material, …

Eco-hydrological pathways inferred from stable isotopes in a Pinus ponderosa and Pinus monophylla woodland of the Sheep Range, southern Great Basin, USA
The North American Monsoon System (NAMS) is highly variable bothtemporally and spatially, and variability is likely to increase with climate change. The impact of summer precipitation on ecosystem patterns and processes, particularly at high elevations in the Great Basin, is poorly understood. In …

Sedimentological constraints on Middle Miocene extensional tectonism of the southern Las Vegas Range, southern Nevada
… lacustrine basin in the southern Las Vegas Range, Nevada, that was fragmented during a period of extensional tectonism. The model suggests that the sediments were deposited in an isolated basin during initiation of normal faulting in the Sheep Range extensional allochthon 12 to 16 Ma. After …

Variation in the Bimodal Precipitation Regime of Southern Nevada, USA Measured in Tree-Ring Isotopes
The North American Monsoon System (NAMS) is a seasonal climatic phenomenon vital to ecosystems and human population centers in the southwestern USA and northwestern Mexico. Inter-annual variation of the NAMS bimodal precipitation regime is more predictable in its core region of northwestern Mexico, …
