Artifacts discovered at the Burnt Rock Spring Mound in North Las Vegas are approximately 1,000 years old.
All stories have to start somewhere.
Seymour, an archaeologist with the Las Vegas Springs Preserve, is trying to tell the geographical and water histories of the Las Vegas Valley by heading an excavation of the Burnt Rock Spring Mound, located east of Decatur Boulevard on the north side of Ann Road, on private property owned by John Ritter and Associates. The motion was proposed in January by Assemblywoman Sandra Tiffany, R-Henderson.
