STATEMENT OF WORK

C.1 GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS

C.1 -Scope of Services. The Contractor shall provide all services, equipment, facilities, materials, and supplies required for the performance and completion of the function outlined herein.

C.1.1 -Project. The project is a Cultural Resource Survey on the Brownstown Ranger District of the Hoosier National Forest. The project may be located in the following counties on the Brownstown Ranger District in southern Indiana: Brown, Jackson, Lawrence, Martin, Monroe, north half of Orange (reference attached vicinity map). The objectives of the project shall be: (1) to locate and identify all cultural resources judged to be at least 50 years old (2) to provide a complete cultural resource inventory of the area, and (3) to make a preliminary evaluation of the significance of identified historic properties according to the National Register of Historic Places eligibility criteria. To accomplish these objectives, the Contractor shall review existing sources of information on cultural and natural resources in the project area, conduct a complete coverage field reconnaissance, analyze the results of this investigation, and prepare a cultural resource report documenting this information.

C.1.2 - Location. Areas to be inventoried will be identified on 7.5’ topographic maps. All National Forest System (NFS) lands designated within the attachments and/or task orders are included in this contract.

C.1.3 -Government-Furnished Property. The Government shall deliver to the Contractor the following listed materials, supplies, property or services (hereinafter referred to as "Government-furnished property") at the places and time specified below. The Contractor shall be liable for all loss or damage of such delivered Government-furnished property until completion and final acceptance of work required under this contract. If the Government fails to make timely delivery of such Government-furnished property suitable for its intended use, and upon written request from the Contractor, the Contracting Officer shall make an equitable adjustment of contract delivery or performance dates or contract price, or both, pursuant to the "Changes" clause of the General Provisions of this contract.

C.1.3.1 -Property, Data and Services. The Forest Service shall allow the Contractor to review such information in its possession as the Forest Service deems pertinent to the project, including archaeological and historical inventory data, environmental data and reports, early aerial photos, maps, GLO plats, land status atlas, and other relevant information. This shall include the availability of Forest Service personnel and resource specialists for technical consultation as needed for the orderly and efficient development of the project.

C.1.3.2 -The Forest Service shall provide the Contractor with one (1) set of Forest Service topographic maps of the area of undertaking, showing ownership and major features.

C.2 - TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

C.2.1 - Cultural Resource Survey Requirements.

This contract is intended to provide the U.S. Forest Service with technical services related to cultural resource inventory on National Forest Service lands. These technical services will assist in compliance by the Hoosier National Forest with the National Historic Preservation Act, as amended, and the Archaeological Resources Protection Act, as amended. The Contractor shall comply with these Acts.

The Contractor shall:

C.2.1.1 -Meet with Forest Service personnel prior to initiating fieldwork for the purpose of: (1) reviewing the undertaking and discussing the project objectives, (2) reviewing Forest Service cultural resource inventory information, (3) examining pertinent natural resource data, reports, maps, etc., (4) becoming acquainted with the natural and cultural features of the project area, and (5) discussing field plans and coordination with Ranger District personnel.

C.2.1.2 -Conduct a records and interview search sufficient to identify previously known or recorded cultural resources within the areas of undertaking. Sources shall include: (1) Forest Service cultural resource files; (2) Indiana State Historic Preservation Office; (3) the archaeologist or cultural resource paraprofessional for the district; and (4) other pertinent records, publications, or informants.

C.2.1.3 -Conduct a complete coverage reconnaissance sufficient to identify all existing cultural resources within the project boundaries. The reconnaissance will focus on: (1) areas that have less than 20% slope; (2) stream terraces, floodplains, and confluences; (3) ridge tops, ridge spurs, saddles, benches, and watershed divides; and (4) cave and rockshelter areas.

Complete field coverage will consist of a series of on-the-ground transects via systematic subsurface testing to determine the presence or absence of cultural remains in areas where the ground surface is obscured. Intensity of complete field coverage may vary in accordance with known or suspected cultural resource sensitivity and geographic features or obstacles encountered. Transects and subsurface testing intervals shall not exceed 50 feet (15 meters). Subsurface test units shall be a minimum size of 12 in. in diameter (30 cm) and excavated to just below sterile soil. Upon discovery of cultural materials, the testing interval shall be maintained at 15 meters across the site until two negatives are discovered in a transect. To fine tune the site boundary, additional shovel testing will be conducted at a 5 meter interval beyond the last positive and cease with two consecutive negative probes. For example, in each transect, the last positive probe along the northern edge of a site will receive additional 5 meter tests to the north. Similarly, in each transect the last positive probe along the eastern edge of the site will receive additional 5 meter tests to the east, and so on. The purpose of the additional probes is to define the site boundary. In an inventory level survey it is not appropriate to “swiss cheese” shovel test an entire site at a 5 meter interval. Soil removed from all subsurface test units shall be screened through 1/4" mesh hardware cloth and backfilled. Shovel testing is not appropriate, and will not be conducted in cemetery areas.

Should extensive alluviation (over 2-3 ft/60-100 cm) be detected during investigation along stream floodplains, the Contractor will recommend mechanical deep testing to identify deeply buried cultural resources. No deep or backhoe testing will be conducted.

Conduct walk-over field coverage of the remaining area (slopes over 20 percent). Walk-over field coverage consists of systematic transects to identify surface features such as burial mounds, foundations, rock shelters, lithic source areas, etc. Transect intervals shall not exceed 100 feet (30 meters).

Upon discovery of above ground remains, walk-over or visual examination intervals shall be reduced in order to adequately observe and record the remains.

When eroded or severely eroded soils are encountered, the liklihood of identifying significant sites is greatly diminished. In this instance, a reduction in the shovel testing interval may be made with approval from the Contract Officer’s Representative. Upon field verification of substantial erosion, a walk-over survey is generally adequate. Shovel tests must be periodically attempted in an effort to define intact soils. If/when an historic or prehistoric site is located, shovel testing must resume as described above to determine the nature and extent of the site.

Rockshelters shall be investigated for cultural occupation as follows: a) if cultural materials over 50 years of age can be identified and collected from the surface of the shelter floor, then no subsurface investigation is to be conducted b) if such materials are not evident on the surface, then at least one subsurface shovel test is to be excavated inside the shelter c) an additional shovel test will be necessary in the drip line or on the talus slope if the initial shovel test does not produce cultural materials. Upon identification of the first positive test, no further units will be excavated d) subsurface shovel test units shall measure 12 in. in diameter (30cm), and the contents of each shall be screened through 1/4" mesh hardware cloth e) if the rockshelter is defined as a cultural resource site, then shovel test units must be accurately mapped so they can be relocated. A rockshelter form must be completed for all rockshelters.

Subsurface testing of rockshelters may be conducted using a 1/2" soil core upon approval from the Contract Officer's Representative. If no artifacts are recovered in an overhang, then the description of the shelter should be documented on a rockshelter form and its location logged using Global Positioning System (GPS) technology with a 2-5 meter accuracy and presented in a separate Geographic Information System (GIS) “overhang” shapefile.

Unevaluated and potentially eligible previously recorded sites located in the project area will be monitored and the condition assessed. Resurvey site forms will be completed to document the field investigation.

The Contractor shall keep standard field and laboratory records including field notes, field maps, photographs, laboratory analysis records, along with coverage maps showing the location of areas actually examined and the intensity of survey coverage (location, number, and interval between shovel tests). The Contractor shall obtain state site numbers for all sites, and record each site on a state site form: "Indiana Historic Sites and Structures Inventory-Archaeological Sites". This form is now available online in the SHAARD database. The use of GPS technology with at least 2-5 meter accuracy using NAD83 datum is required for obtaining UTM locations of all sites investigated. Submeter accuracy is preferred. This data should be presented in a GIS (i.e. ArcMap) shapefile.

No surface artifact samples will be collected from historic sites unless identification is not possible in the field, items possess a high degree of scientific value or are of museum quality, are at risk due to theft or vandalism, or were recovered from shovel tests. Historic material observed, but not recovered, will be described, recorded, and mapped, or photographed. All prehistoric materials, with the exception of fire-cracked rock, will be collected and bagged separately by site location and site number. Recovered materials will be identified and analyzed. Collections will be curated at the Glenn A. Black Laboratory in Bloomington, Indiana. Curation arrangements, including cost of shipping, are the responsibility of the Contractor. Actual curation fees will be paid by the Forest Service.

C.2.1.4 -Archaeological Resources Protection Act Violations. Should the contractor observe or obtain knowledge of violations of the Archaeological Resources Protection Act, these shall be reported as soon as possible to the Contracting Officer's Representative or a Forest Service Law Enforcement Officer.

Areas in which violations are detected shall be left alone because these are potential crime scenes.

No contract work is to be conducted in these areas until the Forest Archaeologist and Forest Service Law Enforcement Officer are consulted.

C.2.1.5 – Human Remains – In the event human remains are discovered, work in the area will cease and the Contractor will immediately notify the Contracting Officer’s Representative. The Contracting Officer’s Representative will notify the Indiana Department of Historic Preservation and Archaeology and the county coroner and will work in accordance with the processes set forth in the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act, the Eastern and Southern Regions of the USDA Forest Service Policy for the Treatment of Human Remains, and Indiana Law IC 14.

C.2.2 - Reports – Reports will be prepared and subbmitted in accordance with the items listed below.

C.2.2.1 -Review Draft - The Contractor shall provide two (2) copies of the review draft of the final report to the Contracting Officer's Representative before the final report is required. One copy will be forwarded by the Contracting Officer's Representative to the Indiana State Historic Preservation Office for review. The Government will compile and submit all review comments.

Guidelines for Curating Archaeological Collections at the

Glenn A. Black Laboratory of Archaeology

Updated:

December 2013

The Glenn A. Black Laboratory of Archaeology (GBL) curates artifacts from private and public lands primarily in Indiana and neighboring states. Acceptance for curation is made on a case-by-case determination. For consideration, all curation requests must include: the name of the project, the name of the landowner(s) and/or funding/permitting agency, type of project (phase I, II, and/or III), name of the PI and employer, the county(ies) location of the project, number of sites and site numbers, approximate size of collection in cubic feet, material to be curated (e.g., prehistoric, historic, ceramics, human remains), and the start and finish dates of the project.

Prior to curation, a contract must be established between the depositor and GBL. If accepted for curation, GBL requires that all archaeological materials and associated documents arrive “shelf-ready.” Shelf-ready means that the objects and documents must be properly labeled and archivally stored upon arrival for immediate placement in curation. Standards for “shelf-ready” curation follow the general guidelines set by the National Park Service and 36CFR79 - Curation of Federally-Owned and Administered Archeological Collections (see attached and links below).

http://www.nps.gov/archeology/collections/mgt_01a.htm http://www.nps.gov/history/archeology/tools/36CFR79.htm

GBL shelf-ready requirements should also include the following additions or modifications to the NPS/Federal guidelines:

Labeling

If accepted for curation, projects and/or individual sites will be assigned a GBL accession number. Artifacts, bags, and paper labels should be marked with an accession number over a catalog number. Catalog numbers are assigned by the archaeological contractor sequentially by provenience and material type.

Ex.

Each artifact that is larger than a half inch must be labeled with an accession number and a catalog number. Objects smaller than a half inch do not have to be labeled, but we request that an attempt be made to label selected specimens within a grouping of smaller objects. For large groupings or bulk artifacts (e.g., over 200 pieces of window glass from one provenience), only 10% of the objects need to be individually labeled. If you wish to discard bulk materials (e.g., FCR), please contact the GBL Curator of Collections for the proper procedure. Objects that are too fragile or may require special treatment do not have to be labeled. Human remains are typically not labeled directly on the bone.

http://www.nps.gov/archeology/collections/mgt_01a.htm http://www.nps.gov/history/archeology/tools/36CFR79.htm

Artifacts are to be marked using a clear Acryloid B-67or 72 undercoat before marking, and a topcoat of clear Acryloid B-67 or 72 or a Gloss Medium applied to form a protective sandwich around the ink. GBL prefers Acryloid B-67 or a Gloss Medium because they do not contain any acetone, a harmful chemical for humans. A permanent archival ink (carbon based) should be used (e.g., Rapidograph Koh-l-Noor 3080F Universal Black Ink). Commercial pens, like Sharpies, are not acceptable. If the object to be labeled is a dark color, then you can use a white acrylic as an undercoat. For archival labeling supplies, see the following link:

Gaylord.com -http://www.gaylord.com/adblock.asp?abid=16720&search_by=desc&search_for=labeling%20kit&mpc=

WW

Bagging

Artifacts are to be bagged by provenience and then by material type. Bags should be a zipper-type polyethylene with 4 mil thickness. All bags should be labeled with a permanent marker (e.g., Identi-Pen), but not a Sharpie marker as these fade in light. The bag label should copy what is marked on the GBL Specimen Label or the Primary Card Label.

Ex.

GBL Specimen Label should be marked in a pencil with No. 4 or 2H lead or printed from a digital file and should also be placed in each bag. Nesting of smaller bags of the same provenience and material type into larger bags is encouraged, unless items are too fragile or too many. A Primary Card Label should be placed in these larger, nested bags. The GBL Specimen Label and the Primary Card Label must be on acid free paper, Mylar, Tyvek or Nalgene Polypaper. The labels should be visible through the bag and should not be obscured by its contents.

Bags should never be filled completely. We recommend a maximum of ¾ full.

Objects can be cushioned with acid free foam core or ethafoam blocks/sheets.

Fragile objects can also be stored in archivally safe plastic vials. A GBL Specimen Label should be placed in the vial, which should also be marked with permanent ink.

Special arrangements must be made for oversized objects that do not fit into a bag and/or curation boxes. Labeling of these materials may require a drop tag attached with a cotton string.

Bags must be perforated with a small hole (approximately 1 to 2 mm) to allow air exchange and avoid cargo sweat.

Associated Documents

The GBL's current curation requirements for associated documents are:

The associated documents (e.g., reports, photos, notebooks, maps, analysis sheets, electronic databases) should be submitted at the same time with the artifacts. All should be clearly labeled with permanent archival ink or pencil with the Accession # and title of contents (e.g., Accession #11735, Final Report).

We recommend the use of pencils with No. 4 or 2H lead.

A digital and paper (acid free) copy of all associated documents should be submitted. An archival paper and electronic copy of the catalog inventory must also be provided at the time of deposit.

We accept files that are compatible with Adobe, Microsoft Office, and ArcGIS. A word searchable PDF file(s) is requested for the final report(s).

All digital images should be of medium or higher resolution (300 dpi minimum), average size (4’ x 6’), and saved as a Tiff file.

Digital files must be clearly labeled and submitted on a CD, Thumb Drive, or another transferable medium.

Paper records should be placed in archival file folders (Legal sized required).

Do not use adhesive labels. They will fall off.

Maps and other oversized paperwork should not be folded, but delivered flat or in a rolled tube.

No metal objects (e.g., stables, paperclips) should be used with the associated documents. They must be removed prior to permanent storage.

Photos (print & digital) and slides should labeled and submitted within polyethylene archival sheets. We request that you use the following:
