Archaeological Sites. This category of cultural resources includes the tangible evidence of past activities that are of a certain age, are spatially circumscribed, and may or may not exhibit internal differentiation and diversity. NRCS Louisiana follows the Louisiana SHPO and the Louisiana Division of Archaeology definition of an archaeological site. To be considered an archaeological site for NRCS Louisiana undertakings, the remains of past human activity must be a locus that contains at least five artifacts and/or an intact feature, with either surface or subsurface provenience, and are at least 50 years old. Surface scatter sites must be five or more artifacts within an area no greater than 30 x 30 m. The Division of Archaeology will consider proposed exceptions to these conditions on a case-by-case basis. Federal law and NRCS policy stipulate that all cultural resources that meet the criteria for an archaeological site must be evaluated for the NRHP. All NRHP eligibility are the responsibility of NRCS Louisiana CRS and are developed in consultation with the Louisiana SHPO, Indian tribes, and other interested parties in the cultural resources review process. Four criteria were developed in order to determine eligibility for the NRHP and are based on the quality of significance in American history, architecture, archaeology, engineering, and culture is present in districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects that possess integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association (36 CFR Part 60.4):
