The purpose of our Archaeology program is to identify and protect cultural and historic sites in the Yucca Mountain area.
To accomplish this purpose, we work with
professional archaeologists from the Desert
Research Institute in Las Vegas, Nevada. This program
complies with the guidelines of the National
Historic Preservation Act of 1966 and has a current
agreement with the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation.
Our major goal is to preserve evidence of those that
came before us. Prior to any new work at Yucca Mountain,
experts conduct archaeological surveys to assure we
do not adversely impact areas containing cultural resources.
Archaeologists also periodically monitor known cultural
resource sites in the area to ensure their protection
and integrity.
