Presentation by Dr. Samantha Rubinson - Nevada State Historic Preservation Office/Nevada Site Stewardship Program Coordinator
The Nevada Site Stewardship Program has been stewarding archaeological sites throughout Nevada for close to 20 years. This work has created a unique archive of site condition data that can elucidate the major causes of site change and damage over time statewide. An analysis of the stewardship data from 2014-2024 investigated trends related to climate change, recreational damage, and deliberate human impacts on sites. These trends were examined on state-wide, regional (Field Office and Ranger District), and individual site levels. This presentation will focus on the results of this study, the implications for land managers, and recommendations for future preservation.
