ARCHEOLOGICAL PROTECTION

SECTION 01 35 13.22

A. The work of this section consists of protecting archeological resources contained in soil deposits.

A. Archeological Resources: Archeological resources are the physical evidences of past human activity, including evidences of the effects of that activity on the environment. Archeological resources represent both prehistoric and historic time periods. They are found above and below ground and under water.

B. Archeologically Sensitive Areas: Areas that have the potential to contain significant (National

Register eligible) archeological resources. If National Register eligible or listed archeological resources could not be avoided, an appropriate mitigation strategy would be developed in consultation with the state historic preservation officer and, if necessary, associated American

Indian tribes.

C. Non-sensitive Areas: Areas with little, if any, potential of containing significant (National

Register eligible) archeological resources.

D. Archeological Monitor: Representative of the Government designated to oversee construction activities that could disturb archeological resources.

E. Archeological Resources Protection Act (ARPA) of 1979 (P.L. 96-95; 93 Stat. 712): defines archeological resources as any material remains of past human life or activities that are of archeological interest and at least 100 years old; Section 4 of the statute describes the requirements that must be met before Federal authorities can issue a permit to excavate or remove any archeological resource on Federal or Indian lands; the curatorial requirements of artifacts, and other materials excavated or removed.

1.3 SUBMITTALS

1. Starting and ending dates of ground-disturbing construction.

2. Locations of temporary facilities, such as barriers, field offices, staging areas, sanitary facilities, borrow pits, and haul and access roads.

3. Types of construction, such as clearing, topsoil stripping, structure or trench excavation, landscaping, and post construction clean-up.

4. Methods and equipment used for each type of construction.

5. Plan for relocating work in the event of temporary work stoppages at each archeologically sensitive area

3.1 BARRICADES

A. Comply with requirements specified in Division 01 Section “Temporary Facilities and

Controls.”

3.2 ARCHEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATION BY NON-NPS PERSONNEL

A. A permit is required for any archeological investigations (e.g. excavation, shovel testing, coring, pedestrian survey, underwater archeology, rock art documentation, or other types of reconnaissance including the archaeological monitoring of…
