The goals of this study are, to be frank, more managerial than anthropological. Our charge was to examine where archaeology is most likely to be found, and when found, where it was most likely to be an impediment to Great Basin Restoration Initiative land use goals. The management orientation of this study does not mean there is no component of science to it. Our ability to formulate reasonable hypotheses about historic and prehistoric settlement patterns - to devise simple initial models at all - derives from research by ourselves but especially by others. We make no claim to be doing "deep science" in the hypothetico-deductive mode in this study. Nevertheless, we have striven to make the results and information useful to those interested in more focused work of that sort.
