Say for example the model shows that the hunter-gatherers did not occupy what is now the plyia. This block of land might be excluded from further inventory. On the other hand if the model identifies a site and the exploration activity can totally avoid the site no or limited inventory might be required. When the predictive model approach is accepted as a land management planning tool the methodology can be used in other valleys. The next phase of the contract calls for implementation of the model in Pine Valley up in Eureka county just south of Carlin.
Pine Valley is the only other valley that currently produces oil in Nevada.
