The Panaca Summit Archaeological Investigations were funded by the Williams Telecommunications Company, Tulsa, Oklahoma as part of The Bureau of Land Management's compliance with Cultural Resource Protection Mandates. Unlike most previous investigations on the public lands in Southeastern Nevada, this particular survey encompassed ecological types from the valley floor to the uplands, resulting in a greater insite into the diversity of prehistoric activities. The classifications and evaluations of the various sites are also examined through the application of a functional site type key, and systematic relationships in the data are explored. Both the findings and the evaluative techniques have implications for the direction of future studies and management of cultural resources in Southeastern Nevada.
