Description: "Project Archaeology in Nevada is sponsored by the U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management as well as other public and private partners. The goal is to foster stewardship of Nevada's cultural resources and to promote the educational, cultural, and scientific awareness to benefit diverse present and future generations. By introducing the Project Archaeology program into Nevada, we hope to equip Nevada's children with the knowledge to make wise decisions regarding the use and preservation of archaeological resources and an appreciation of Nevada's diverse cultural heritage"--Intro.
