Archeology. The minimum professional qualifications in archeology are a graduate degree in archeology, anthropology, or closely related field plus:
Archeology. Project modifications with the potential to impact archeological deposits will be addressed pursuant to Stipulation VI.
Archeology. 2. Historic preservation
Archeology. The scientific recovery of material evidence remaining from human life and culture in past ages; the study of this evidence.
Archeology. To date, archaeologists have recorded more than 2,100 sites in southeastern Alaska. A large percentage of these are shell middens, although numerous other types of prehistoric and historic resources are known (Xxxxxx 1992). A four-part cultural sequence for southeastern Alaska proposed by Xxxxx (1990:197) includes a Paleomarine tradition (9000-4500 B.C.), a Transitional stage (4500-3000 B.C.), a Developmental Northwest Coast stage (3000 B.C. to European contact), and a Historic period. The Paleomarine tradition is used to define the earliest cultural stage yet identified within coastal southeastern Alaska. It is characterized by a well-developed microblade industry with wedge-shaped microblade cores, few or no bifacial tools, and an economy based on coastal-marine subsistence (Xxxxx 1990:197). The Paleomarine tradition is followed by a transitional stage. While this stage has not been well defined, its existence is inferred because of the appearance of a ground stone tool industry that became dominant over the microblade and unifacial stone tool industry by 5,000 years ago. The Developmental Northwest Coast stage is differentiated from the Paleomarine and transitional stages by the presence of shell midden deposits, ground stone and bone technology, human burials, and the establishment of large settlements or winter villages, specialized camps, and fortifications. Previous archaeological fieldwork in the Ketchikan area has been limited to small-scale surveys and testing of a prehistoric site at Refuge Cove on Rivellagigedo Island (Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, personal communication 1999). Xxxxxxx Xxxxx and Xxxxxx Xxxx (1982:3) of the Alaska Division of Geological and Geophysical Surveys examined reported grave locations on Xxxxxxx Island in the early 1980s, and Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx inventoried U.S. Coast Guard facilities at Base Ketchikan and Point Xxxxxxx in 1995. Most recently, Xxxx Xxxxxx and Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx of the Tongass National Forest conducted a survey in 2000 along the northeastern shore of Xxxxxxx Island in the vicinity of the airport. Their survey added four additional historic sites, including one with a prehistoric component, to the AHRS.
Archeology. 2. Consulting Parties and the public will continue to have the opportunity to comment on the design of the transportation upgrades pursuant to this MOA.
Archeology. NPS will continue identification and evaluation of archeological historic properties in accordance with 36 CFR § 800.4 and 800.5 and in consultation with the DC SHPO.
Archeology. Many areas on the National Mall were constructed on fill and do not contain any archaeological resources. However, the remaining naturally occurring areas may have potential or include known sites. NPS will consult with the DC SHPO and coordinate in advance of a proposed undertaking with all appropriate entities to establish areas where no further archeological survey will be necessary and where areas for potential archeology remain. NPS will follow all procedures within the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards as well as provide information on any projects that result in archeological investigation.
Archeology a. The Engineer shall complete the draft and finalize the Project Coordination Request (PCR) upon receipt of comment from the State. The Engineer shall conduct an archeological survey that conforms to the Environmental Compliance Toolkit Handbook for Archeological Sites and Cemeteries, available from the State. The Engineer shall conduct archeological surveys under a Texas Antiquities Permit issued by Texas Historical Commission (THC) and signed by a State professional archeologist. The Engineer shall perform surveys, reporting, and documentation to satisfy the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), Section 106 and Texas Antiquities Code requirements for determining whether archeological sites are present in the project area and whether test excavations or a higher level of archeological work is needed.
Archeology. In the event of any unanticipated archeological discoveries, the Contractor shall stop all work and notify the State immediately. Work shall not resume until the State determines how any previously undiscovered archeological remains will be treated. Special attention shall be given to any discovery of burials, xxxxxx, or human remains.
