been made of the earliest remains of man in western Nebraska. However,

the Scotts Bluff area." A brief overview and review of book. - From National

SAA Bulletin 13(4): Nebraska State GIS __ Learn about GIS and its relationship
to archaeology in Nebraska. "Nebraska has little federal land and no state laws
governing the inventory and protection of cultural resources. For this reason,
as of November 1994, information for only 5,665 archaeological sites recorded as
far back as 1930 had been reported to the NSHS, which serves as the
clearinghouse for information on state cultural resources. Many of the recently
located sites have been reported by archaeological surveys associated with
federally funded ground disturbance, especially highway improvements. The GIS
conversion was supported by a grant from the Nebraska Department of Roads as
part of the IS-TEA program, which recognized the need for an archaeological data
layer to enable short- and long-term planning for highway construction and
maintenance. - From University of Nebraska-Lincoln -
