About this file

This document provides guidelines for submitting new site forms, revisits, and corrections to the Illinois State Museum Site Files database. Key details include requirements for maps, data fields, materials observed, temporal affiliation, and additional administrative information when recording archaeological sites in Illinois. Required map scales and formats, data field completion instructions, and supplemental documentation standards are outlined. Correction forms are only appropriate for modifying previously recorded survey information or combining/removing site numbers. All submissions must include 1:24,000 scale USGS topographic and sketch maps clearly showing site boundaries, with shapefiles also recommended.

IIAS GUIDELINES FOR NEW SITES, REVISITS, & CORRECTION FORMS

(Effective 2020.01.17; Last Updated 2023.02.27)

GENERAL

NOTE: Records recorded prior to 2020.01.17 follow the previous standard data fields.

Please contact the Site Files office if you would like a copy of the previous standards.

1. Site forms, revisits, and corrections should be filed with the Illinois State Museum

(ISM) via email to DNR.Archaeology.Sitefiles@Illinois.gov. You may email or call us at 217-524-0662 for any submission or online viewer questions. Please note that maps are required for ALL submissions of new sites AND revisits and corrections. The only exception to this rule is if you are filing a revisit stating that you were unable to relocate the site. All maps should only include the site in question. No multi-site topographic or sketch maps will be accepted, although they may be included as supplemental material to the primary maps. If you are filing a site form that will

NOT be included in a document to be reviewed by the SHPO (i.e. documenting new sites based on private collections), please state that in your submission email.

ALL form fields are REQUIRED unless specified below. If you are having difficulty deciding how to fill out certain fields please contact us. Form data should be submitted in dBase format (DBF), Microsoft Access Database format, or by using the PDF form. If using the PDF form, do NOT alter the fields or submit a flattened

(printed and scanned) form. Please do NOT use special characters, tabs, or carriage returns in the text fields of the form. These guidelines and submission Access files and

PDF forms will be made available on the IIAS online viewer

(https://idnr.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=f62fe2ee24b844508b f4dcf563d0ba75).

2. Site forms submitted should be accompanied by:

I. A 1:24,000 scale map displaying clearly marked site boundaries and survey areas overlaid onto a 7.5' USGS topographic map. All corners of sections containing a site should be visible and the site should be centered on the mailto:DNR.Archaeology.Sitefiles@Illinois.gov https://idnr.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=f62fe2ee24b844508bf4dcf563d0ba75 https://idnr.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=f62fe2ee24b844508bf4dcf563d0ba75 map if possible. In cases where the site and survey areas cannot be easily discerned on the same map, you may submit multiple topographic maps, one for the site and one for the survey. Multiple topographic maps should also be submitted in cases where the survey area is very large and cannot be placed on a single letter sized page at a 1:24,000 scale. Maps MUST be letter sized (8.5'' by 11'') with 0.5'' to 1'' margins and submitted in PDF or

Word format. Layouts may be in portrait or landscape form. For those that are not using GIS software to create maps, we ask that you attempt to get the scale as close as possible to 1:24,000.

II. A sketch map relating the site to local features is also required for all submissions. Do NOT substitute plan maps of sites. The purpose of the sketch map is to help locate the site, so please be sure to LABEL LOCAL

FEATURES, such as roads and hydrological features. Directional arrows with measurements to local features also work well on sketch maps, especially in remote areas. Please include the survey area on the sketch map if at all possible. While it is not required, we encourage the use of current aerial imagery as the base map for sketch maps. Maps MUST be letter sized (8.5'' by 11'') with 0.5'' to 1'' margins and submitted in PDF or

Word format. Layouts may be in portrait or landscape form. If you are expanding or changing the limits of site, you must display the previous and updated limits on your sketch map.

III. If available, shapefiles or KML/KMZ files for site boundaries and survey areas should be included in your submission. Isolated Find sites (a single artifact on the landscape) should be submitted as a point file, while regular sites and survey areas should be submitted as polygons.

IV. Supplemental information such as site plan maps and artifact inventories may also be submitted. Supplemental data MUST be letter sized (8.5'' by

11'') with 0.5'' to 1'' margins and submitted in PDF or Word format.

Layouts may be in portrait or landscape form.

V. Site and survey boundaries placed on topographic and sketch maps should be identical and correctly scaled. An exception will be made for folks that do not have access to GIS software to create their maps. We strongly encourage the use of free GIS tools and software, such as QGIS and

CalTopo.com. Please feel free to contact us if you would like assistance in finding or utilizing free GIS resources. Current aerial imagery on sketch maps is strongly suggested for non-GIS users who cannot provide shapefiles or cannot place accurate site or survey boundaries on their topo map. If using Google Earth for your sketch map, please make sure that the imagery is NOT tilted or in 3D mode. If you need assistance in checking your settings please contact the Site Files.

3. Site forms added to the site files at the ISM will be returned to you in a digital format via a draft PDF site form.

4. Site numbers will be assigned ONLY when fully executed site forms and maps have been received by the ISM. Site numbers will not be assigned to sites with problems (i.e.

overlapping with another known site) until the problem is resolved.

NOTES ON USGS TOPOGRAPHIC MAPS

USGS topographic maps can be obtained from the Illinois State Geological Survey

(ISGS). A copy of the brochure “Guide to the Use of Illinois Topographic Maps” can be found here: https://directory.illinois.edu/staff/jsteinfe@illinois.edu/1136.pdf.

SITE CORRECTION FORM INFORMATION

1. Site correction forms should only be used when making corrections to previously recorded survey records, when you believe there is a need to combine sites and/or drop site numbers, or if you are changing the limits and filing a revisit but cannot fit your justification for the limits change on the standard form. Unless you are simply correcting an error in your own past submission, a revisit form will need to be filed along with your correction form. Any correction form that addresses changes to the current mapped boundary or location should include the maps required for revisit forms. The sketch map should display the previous and corrected limits. Correction forms that only address survey form text do not need maps.

2. List all locational information as it is listed on the original form – even if it is incorrect and this is the issue you are correcting. Explanations to justify your desired correction should be made under the ''Corrections/Additional Data'' heading.
