Margaret Lyneis examined pottery recovered from two of southern Nevada’s desert oases, the Desert National Wildlife Refuge and the Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge. People occupied these rich havens of springs and lush vegetation fairly continuously from the Early Archaic period, with farming practiced during the Formative and Post-Formative periods. Lyneis’ investigations demonstrated for the first time that pottery was made in these locations during the later periods, with tempers for both gray and brown ware ceramics consisting of crushed rock obtained from adjacent mountains. This paper summarizes these studies and reflects on the implications of Lyneis’ research for understanding Nevada’s prehistory.

玛格丽特·莱内斯（Margaret Lyneis）和内华达州南部玉米溪和Ash Meadows的陶器传统

玛格丽特·莱内斯（Margaret Lyneis）检查了从内华达州南部的两个沙漠绿洲中回收的陶器：沙漠国家野生动物保护区和Ash Meadows国家野生动物保护区。从古旧时期开始，人们就相当连续地占领着这些泉水和茂密的植被的避风港，在成长期和后形成时期都进行耕种。Lyneis的调查首次证明了在后来的时期在这些位置制作陶器，其中灰褐色陶瓷制品的回火都由从附近山脉获得的碎石组成。本文总结了这些研究，并反思了Lyneis的研究对于理解内华达州史前研究的意义。
