Native American History
The site, also known as Nevada's "Lost City", was occupied by the Anasazi and other groups between 300 and 1150.[2] The site also shows signs of human occupation as early as 8000 BC.
Some of the houses in the Lost City had up to 20 rooms, with the largest having 100 rooms. [3]
Artifacts from the site are housed in the Lost City Museum.[4]
Recent history
In 1827, Jedediah Smith found various artifacts while exploring in the area.[5]
John and Fay Perkins, when they heard that Governor James Scrugham was looking for such sites to develop for tourism in Nevada, brought this site to the public attention.[6]
Mark Raymond Harrington was the first archaeologist to excavate at the site in 1924, by Scrugham's request.[7]
The Lost City Museum (formerly known as the Boulder Dam Park Museum} was built by the National Park Service in 1935 to exhibit artifacts from Pueblo Grande de Nevada. The most developed sections of the pueblo is partially covered by the waters of Lake Mead as a result of building Hoover Dam.[8]
The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 8, 1982.[9]
