SECTION 31 20 01 - ARCHAEOLOGICAL MONITORING

PART 1 – GENERAL

1.01 SUMMARY: This work consists of performing Archaeological Survey Monitoring on Laguna

Campground Rehab project site during all contract demolition or other activities involving ground or natural feature disturbance. Work includes all personnel, equipment, supplies, transportation, tools, materials and other items necessary to perform Cultural Resource Monitoring as defined herein.

Prior to the commencement of any site work, the approved Archaeological Monitor (Monitor) shall conduct a Cultural Resource Survey in the areas of the site that are expected to be disturbed during the commencement of the project. See Contract Area map that denotes the allowed area of disturbance. At both sites a very narrow area of disturbance will be allowed due to the presence of pre-historic significance and existing improvements. Approved equipment routes, staging areas and storage areas will be designated on the ground by the Forest Heritage Resource Program Manager.

A detailed report shall be furnished to the government documenting any findings. The approved Monitor will be furnished with copies of relevant historical survey reports and letters for use on the field survey.

Project monitoring shall be performed to ensure that no prehistoric, ethnographic or historical (heritage) resources encountered within the project Contract Area are disturbed or destroyed.

1.02 DEFINITIONS AND DOCUMENTATION STANDARDS

A. Cultural resources are objects or definite locations of human activity, occupation, or use identifiable through field survey, historical documentation, or oral evidence. Cultural resources are prehistoric, historic, archaeological, or architectural sites, structures, places, or objects and traditional cultural properties (FSM 2360.5). Examples include,

• archaeological sites

• burial grounds

• sacred landscapes or features

• ceremonial areas

• traditional cultural places & landscapes

• plant, mineral, animal communities

• buildings & structures with significant tribal association

B. Isolated occurrences are one or a few lost or randomly discarded artifacts, or extremely low densities of artifacts dispersed over large areas at densities less than one item per five square meters. Isolates meet no criteria for listing on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).

C. Historic Property is any prehistoric or historic district, site, building, structure, or object included in, or eligible for inclusion in, the NRHP. This term includes artifacts, records, and remains that are related to and located within such properties. The term includes properties of traditional religious and cultural importance to an Indian tribe or Native Hawaiian organization and that meet the National Register criteria (36 CFR 800.16).

D. Session Reports: Interim project progress reports, observations, draft forms, and monitoring logs to be submitted to the government on an agreed upon schedule outlined in the Project

Monitoring Plan.

V. SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS - DEFINTIONS

ARR: Archaeological Reconnaissance Report

Artifacts: Any object made or modified by human activity.

Diagnostic - Prehistoric: Time sensitive or functionally specific artifacts associated with prehistoric era (pre-1850) human activity. These would include formed artifacts such as flake stone tools, projectile points, or groundstone artifacts (bowl mortars, pestles, metates, etc.)

Diagnostic - Historic: Time-sensitive or functionally specific artifacts associated with historic era

(generally post 1850, non- Native American) human activity. This may include embossed or otherwise labeled bottles or tins, bottles with pontil marks or other time sensitive attributes, ceramics with maker’s marks or other distinctive attributes, and/or artifacts associated with specific ethnic groups (Chinese, Basque, etc.)

Ethnographic Sites: Sites and/or resource procurement areas associated with historic era (ca. post-

1850) Native American use.

Feature: A modified component within a site that is the result of human activity (i.e. bedrock mortars, house-pits, fire hearths, mining tailings, or structural foundations).

Historic Sites: Historic-era artifacts occurring in sufficient quantity or complexity, and/or groupings of artifacts and historic features that are in excess of 50 years old shall be formally recorded as a site. If, during the course of this survey, there are questions whether to record historic debris and/or features as a site or an isolated resource (isolate), consult with the Government for direction, the Government is the final word.

Isolates – Historic: Locations that consist of a limited number of historic artifacts (e.g. less than 20 tin cans, etc.) or isolated features that are clearly not associated with any other nearby features or artifact occurrences (within a 25 square meter area), shall be recorded as isolates.

Isolates – Prehistoric: Locations that consist of less than five (5) flakes, or less than three (3) formed tools, or less than three (3) pieces of milling equipment within a 25 square meter area, shall be recorded as isolates.

Loci: A center for cultural activity typically separated from other parts of the site by space devoid of cultural materials. Loci generally contain multiple features and/or occurrences of artifacts.

Multi-Component Site: A site that contains both historic and prehistoric artifacts and/or features as defined herein. A historic site that contains a single prehistoric artifact will not be considered multi-component. A prehistoric site, with a light occurrence of a historic refuse (i.e. five or six sanitary cans) will, likewise, not be considered a multi-component site. If there are questions about how to record a site with multiple components consult with the Government.

Prehistoric Site: Prehistoric era artifacts occurring in sufficient quantity or complexity shall be formally recorded as a site. At a minimum: five (5) unmodified lithic flakes, three (3) worked artifacts (e.g. projectile points, bifaces, groundstone, etc.), or a combination of flakes and artifacts numbering at least three (3) within a 25 square meter area shall be defined as a site. All bedrock mortar(s) locations are sites.

QC: Quality Control.

ARCHAEOLOGICAL MONITORING Section 31 20 01 - 5

QCP: Quality Control Plan.

VI. FIELD MONITORING SURVEYS

Following approval of the Survey Monitoring Plan, the Contractor shall conduct a thorough heritage resource survey within the Survey Needs polygons in the Project Area. A thorough survey includes a systematic pedestrian examination of the surface. Beyond the exposure of the ground surface for assistance in ground visibility, no subsurface excavation is authorized.

1. Record New and Previously Located Heritage Resource Sites within the anticipated areas of disturbance/Contract Area:

The Contractor shall record all newly discovered and previously located prehistoric, ethnographic, and historical heritage resources encountered within the Project Area. A Global Positioning (GPS)

System will be used to record the location of all site boundaries and datums.

Non-Linear Heritage Resources Polygons: All non-linear heritage resource sites boundaries shall be GPS’d as polygons (area feature) with a Datum (point feature) established as a primary mapping point and aid to relocation. Site boundaries shall be established to encompass all artifacts, features, and loci. Site boundaries are defined as five meters out from the nearest artifact/feature. The Contractor shall flag all site boundaries with red and black striped flagging unless otherwise agreed to by the Government. Flagging should be minimized within campgrounds and along trails.

The Contractor shall include all site artifacts, features, and/or loci within a single site boundary as appropriate (e.g. 05-11-51-000a and 05-11-51-000b is not acceptable). If artifacts, features and/or loci are separated by 50 meters or more, these should be recorded and flagged as separate sites. All site boundaries shall be recorded in meters. Historic features are recorded in English rule, except for measurement from Datum to feature and/or artifacts, which shall be recorded in meters. Site sketch maps shall be drawn to scale.

Standard: A flagged site boundary should be visible from the outside of the site, looking in toward the site boundary. Red and black striped flagging will be hung on the outside of site boundaries at a height of at least 5 feet if physically possible, whereas a minimum of 3 flags are visible from any point outside of the site boundary.

Linear Heritage Resources: All linear heritage resources shall be documented and GPS’d as line features. Site boundaries are defined as five meters out from the last artifact/feature. The

Contractor shall flag all linear site boundaries with red and black striped flagging along each side to give a corridor effect where possible.

Linear heritage resources shall have all breaches (i.e. forest roads, trails, logging skids, etc.)

GPS’d as a point feature and shall be recorded on the linear feature record.

Standard: Flagging for linear features shall be hung on the outside of site boundaries at a height of at least 5 feet if physically possible, whereas a minimum of 3 flags are visible from any point outside of the site boundary.

Forms and Maps: Heritage resources shall be documented on forms and maps.

Standard: All heritage resource site records shall be recorded using the format approved by the

California State Historic Preservation Office (DPR-523). All new heritage resource sites shall be brought to the attention of the Forest Service Heritage Resource Program Manager and require a completed Primary Record (DPR-523A) and a Location Map (DPR-523J). Additional records are required including a Site Sketch Map (DPR-523K), a Photograph

ARCHAEOLOGICAL MONITORING Section 31 20 01 - 6

Record (DPR-523I) and photographs printed on a Continuation Sheet (DPR-523L). In most cases, for heritage resources recorded as polygons, an Archaeological Site Record (DPR-523C) shall also be required. If a heritage resource site is linear, then a complete Linear Feature Record

(DPR-523E) is required. If a site contains a standing building, then a complete Building, Structure, and Object Record (DPR-523B) is required. Bedrock milling or mortar features shall require a completed Milling Station Record (DPR-523F). If petroglyphs or any other form of rock art are present, then a complete Rock Art Record (DPR-523G) is required.

All site Location Maps shall include the actual GPS’d site polygon plotted on a USGS 7.5’

Quadrangle. Circles, abstract symbols, or lines are not acceptable. The exception is if a site polygon is too small to be accurately plotted, then a point shall be used. Location Maps shall clearly identify the site location using the assigned Forest Service site number in accordance with the Building numbers provided. The name and year (as revised) of the Quadrangle Map will be included along with the Township, Range and Section. Location maps must retain the 1:24,000 scale. Do not alter (reduce or expand) the scale of the map.

Photographs: Digital images shall be provided of the site overview, site datum, features, and diagnostic artifacts. Images shall be submitted as prints within the site forms and electronically as

.jpeg or .tiff files with the Draft Report.

Non-Linear Heritage Resource Polygons Overlapping the Survey Needs Boundary: New heritage resource sites that overlap or straddle the Project Area boundaries shall be treated as if they fall entirely within the Project Area. The exception to this will be if the heritage resource overlaps onto private property. In this case, only the portion of the site on National Forest System lands will be recorded and its continuance onto private lands will be noted on the site record.

Linear Heritage Resources Overlapping the Survey Needs Boundary: All Linear sites that overlap or straddle the Project Area polygon boundaries on to National Forest System lands shall be recorded and flagged for 50 meters outside of the Project Area.

Heritage Resources Associated with Linear Sites: Non-linear heritage resources associated with linear sites (e.g. wooden structures, historic refuse, etc.) shall be recorded as separate sites.

The linear site shall be depicted on site sketch maps of any heritage resource polygon site it falls within.

Associated features or artifacts that would ordinarily qualify as an isolated resource (see V.

SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS, 1. Definitions) shall be described and included within the site record of the linear site in question. These shall also be included within the flagged corridor of the linear site unless the isolate is more than 25 meters from the linear site. If associated isolated features or artifacts are in excess of 25 meters from a linear site, then these should be recorded as isolates. Linear sites and their immediately adjacent associated artifacts/features shall be GPSed as a “line feature” down the center of the linear site. Unassociated isolated features or artifacts will be noted or recorded as appropriate within the ARR and/or an isolate record.

Short Linear Sites Associated with Non-linear Sites: Heritage Linear sites that are less than

100 meters long and are associated with a non-linear heritage resource site (e.g. a short ditch contained within a larger placer mining site), shall be recorded as a feature within the non-linear site. These associated linear sites shall be included in the site GPS’d polygon and flagged boundary for payment.

Isolates: All isolated artifacts or features shall be described and keyed to 7.5 ‘ USGS topographic quadrangle map included within the Draft Report. In the case of diagnostic or unusual artifacts and features, these should be recorded on an Isolate Table that includes 1) an

ARCHAEOLOGICAL MONITORING Section 31 20 01 - 7 isolate number, 2) isolate description, and 3) UTMs of isolate location. GPS data collection is required for diagnostic isolates.

Procedures: If there is any professional disagreement during the term of this contract as to the age, condition, significance, previous use, status, size, or connectivity of a site or artifacts, or appropriate forms, the Government’s determination is final.

Standard: All new heritage resource site records including site location directions, datum descriptions, site sketch maps, site location maps, and photographs, and are completed to current standards. ACT’s are posted and include the site number and boundary dimension information.

Sites are all GPS’d as points (at the datum), polygons, and lines as described above. Sites are flagged to the standards described above.

3. Mapping and GPS Requirements. A Resource Grade Global Positioning (GPS) system shall be used to record the location of site boundaries and datums. No recreational GPS is allowed. Project planning before GPSing is recommended. All GPS data shall be corrected, eliminating “bowties”, “spikes”, and sliver polygons.

Site numbers should be entered in the GPS unit as eleven digit numbers without any dashes or spaces.

For example 05115100123 or 05115501234.

All heritage resource sites that are recorded as a polygon shall have their boundaries GPS’d as an area feature with a point feature taken at the primary datum/ACT location. Linear sites shall be GPS’d as a line feature. Artifacts within a site do not have to be GPS’d. Diagnostic isolates shall be GPS’d.

Where GPS verification cannot be obtained directly for a location after three attempts, the contractor will document the situation within the following Session Report. The contractor and the government will determine how to address the situation on a case-by-case basis (e.g. taking an offset point or digitizing the data). The government’s determination is final.

The Contractor shall provide the following Resource grade GPS site location information with the

Draft Final Report. The Contractor shall submit the verification to the Government in the form of survey notes or GPS files with META data. The mapped locations shall be converted to ArcMap shape files before they are submitted to the Government. Files required include:

(a) Original uncorrected GPS data files (.ssf)

(b) Base Files used to make corrections (.txt)

(c) Corrected GPS files (.cor)

(d) GPS files exported as ARC GIS shape files (with at least these 3 components- .shp, .shx, .dbf)

Standard: All GPS locations shall be to within plus or minus 3 meters horizontal distance at 68% probability of their actual location. The mapped locations shall be recorded in meters with NAD

1983, CONUS, UTM Zone 10 north. Suggested Receiver settings include: 3D Mode, a PDOP of 8, SNR of 6, and Elevations Mask of 15 degrees. GPS data shall be provided to the Government as shape files that can be immediately used to relocate and inspect new or previously located heritage resource site locations.
