Description
Pottery. Typewritten on photo sleeve: "Indian artifacts found at NTS. The complete Paiute brownware bowl is a rare find because the Paiutes were not expert craftsmen and their crude pottery did not stand up under exposure. The Paiutes were too busy trying to eke out the means of life in this hard land to become artisans. The other two bowls, which were found broken, are unusual because the bottoms are relatively flat, particularly the bowl on the left. The two rocks were used as grinding stones, the pot sherds show evidence of more refined pottery making and probably are fragments of trading pieces from other tribes."

Description
View of stone depot in Rhyolite. Typewritten on photo sleeve: "MASSIVE STONE DEPOT which once served three separate railroads - the Tonopah and Tidewater, the Bullfrog and Goldfield, and the Las Vegas and Tonopah - now is the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Herschel Heisler, who have filled the lower floors with mementos of Rhyolite's short bonanza years in the first decade of the century. Mrs. Heisler's brother, N. C. Westmoreland, operated a desert resort in the station from 1935 until the mid-1940's. General George Patton was a guest here when training his troops in Arizona for the African desert action of World War II." [N[evada] T[est] S[ite] News March 15, 1963 p. 4]
