ATTACHMENT__1_GUIDELINES_FOR_DEVELOPING_ARCH_SURVEY_REPORTS_IN_OKLAHOMA.doc

The attached document provides guidelines for developing archaeological survey reports in Oklahoma to support the federal contract opportunity for Cultural Surveys issued by the Department of the Interior Bureau of Indian Affairs Southern Plains Region under solicitation number 140A0323R0004. The guidelines outline the required sections and content for archaeological survey reports conducted on tribal and individual allotted lands in Oklahoma, including an introduction with project location and background; environmental setting; cultural background; field and laboratory methods; results of field investigation; recommendations; references cited; and appendices with site records, photographs or other supporting documentation. Reports developed following these guidelines will assist the agency in meeting its obligations under historic preservation laws and help determine if further archaeological work is required prior to ground disturbing activities on tribal and allotted lands.
