Purpose The purpose of this project is to produce a Historic Resource Study (HRS) and National Register nomination for Ocmulgee National Monument (OCMU) and an additional proposed 2,100 acre area that includes part of the Ocmulgee Old Fields Traditional Cultural Property. The project will be completed in two phases: preparation of the Historic Resource Study (Phase I) and preparation of the National Register nomination (Phase II). Phase II is scheduled to begin in Fiscal Year 2018 and is dependent on funding.

A HRS provides a historical overview of a park or region and identifies and evaluates a park's cultural resources within historic contexts. It synthesizes all readily available cultural resource information from all disciplines in a narrative designed to serve managers, planners, interpreters, cultural resource specialists, and interested public as a reference for the history of the region and the historic resources within a park. Entailing both documentary research and field investigations to determine and describe the integrity, authenticity, associative values, and significance of resources, the HRS supplies data for resource management and interpretation. The HRS also identifies any need for special history studies, cultural landscape reports, ethnographic reports, archeological investigations, or other detailed studies and may make recommendations for resource management and interpretation as appropriate.

The HRS should also establish historic contexts that can be used for preparation of a National Register nomination.

Section 110 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 requires inventory and evaluation of all cultural resources–not merely the most prominent or interpretable. These resources should be evaluated according to National Register of Historic Places criteria found in National Register Bulletin 15. The study will enhance and broaden existing National Register documentation as well as provide historical context for the future National Register work.

The HRS will contain historic contexts with sufficient historical background information to identify and evaluate previously unidentified and/or unevaluated extant structures that are more than fifty years old and structures of exceptional importance that are less than fifty years old. It is expected that the researcher(s) will consult primary and secondary sources related to the history of the park to inform the aforementioned historic contexts.

Below-ground archeological resources will not be evaluated in this study; however, known below ground archeological data from the property will be described and developed into historical contexts including the historical development of scientific archeology as a field of study as associated with the national monument’s extant historic structures; the 12,000 years of habitation of the site; and the significance of archeology to understanding Native American lifeways, trade and interaction throughout the Macon Plateau and greater Southeast.

Background Ocmulgee National Monument (OCMU) was authorized by Congress on June 14, 1934, and established by presidential proclamation on December 23, 1936. President Franklin D. Roosevelt established the monument after local citizens purchased property along the Ocmulgee River and donated it to the federal government. Expanded in 1941 and 1991, the OCMU now encompasses 701 acres in two separate units. In 2016, Congressional legislation was introduced for a proposed boundary change that will expand OCMU by an additional 2,100 acres within the Ocmulgee Old Fields Traditional Cultural Property. This HRS would include examination of historic contexts associated with resources within the current park boundaries and the proposed expanded boundary.

Currently, the main unit (656 acres) includes a portion of the Macon Plateau and is bisected by the Norfolk Southern Railroad. The upland portion of the unit is characterized by rolling hills, grassy fields, and forest patches. To the south and southwest, the unit includes wetlands associated with Walnut Creek and the Ocmulgee River. Within the main unit are seven prehistoric mounds, a funeral mound, a reconstructed earth lodge, prehistoric trenches, and numerous archeological features. This unit also includes the site of a colonial (1690) British trading post (which the Creek Indians frequented), the historic Dunlap House, an Art Moderne visitor center, Civil War earthworks, substantial urban green space, six miles of hiking trails, and a picnic area.

The smaller Lamar Mounds unit is located about two and one-half miles southeast of the main unit and lies in the floodplain of the Ocmulgee River. This unit is the type site of the so-called Lamar culture, a Late Mississippian agricultural society. The Lamar Mounds unit sits on a hummock slightly elevated from the surrounding floodplain and a nearby oxbow lake. Two large mounds (Mounds A and B) and the site of a palisaded village are present on this 45-acre tract. A rectangular levee, constructed in the 1930s, encloses two and one-half sides of the Lamar site but remains unfinished. Mound B is ascended by a spiral ramp—the only such ramp known to exist in the United States.

Today, the park welcomes approximately 120,000 visitors per year. Interpretive programs, exhibits, and artifacts educate visitors about the relationship of people to the land in the area once known as the Ocmulgee Old Fields. Each year culminates with the annual Ocmulgee Indian Celebration, a sharing of Southeast American Indian culture featuring traditional and contemporary dancing, singing, storytelling, games, and crafts.

As a historic unit of the National Park Service the site was automatically listed in the National Register of Historic Places. OCMU completed a NR historic district nomination in December 1978 (66000099) and an amendment in May 1996 that included 3 individually listed National Register properties: the Dunlap House, Civil War Earthworks, and its Art Moderne-style Visitor Center. The Railroad Overpass within OCMU was individually listed on the NR on December 18, 1979. In addition, the Ocmulgee Old Fields was determined eligible by the Keeper of the National Register through a Federal Determination of Eligibility in 1997 (65008971) as a Traditional Cultural Property (TCP), the first location in the eastern United States to receive this determination. However, no official NR nomination has been prepared. The TCP extends well beyond the current boundaries of the park to encompass areas traditionally associated with the cultural beliefs and practices of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation and related tribes.

The 2016 proposed boundary expansion (2,100 acres) includes areas within the Ocmulgee Old Fields TCP and contains multiple cultural and historic resources, some of which are individually listed in the National Register or have been otherwise determined eligible for the National Register. Other sites remain unevaluated.

Despite these multiple NR listings, a comprehensive Historic Resource Study has not been completed for the park and its associated areas. Phase II NR project would nominate previously unlisted, eligible historic sites within the park and the proposed OCMU expanded boundary based on information gathered in the Phase I HRS.

he List of Classified Structures (LCS) is the NPS list of all above ground resources that are listed in or have been determined eligible for listing in the National Register. OCMU has 18 historic resources within the current park boundary listed in the LCS:

Scope of Work In consultation with the NPS, the contractor shall determine areas of inquiry that will best guide later, more specific historical narratives and will form chapters of the HRS. Areas of inquiry should include, but not necessarily be limited to, the following specific periods and topics:

· Human inhabitation of the Ocmulgee Old Fields and surrounding area has existed for over 12,000 years, particularly Mississippian culture in the Southeastern region.

· American Indian life and culture, particularly within the multiple tribes that formed the Muscogee (Creek) Nation illustrated by pre-contact mounds and related features.

· Early protohistoric, contact period, and colonial history illustrated by Creek village and British colonial trading post structures.

· Civil War-era history illustrated by the Dunlap House and multiple historic earthworks from the period.

· 20th Century settlement and development of the Fields and surrounding area.

· The development of the field of scientific archeology at the Ocmulgee Old Fields, as the monument and surrounding area is the site of one of the largest archeological investigations in North American history.

· The Ocmulgee Old Fields Project (Civilian Conservation Corp era, 1933–1941) employed one of the largest numbers of workers on an archeological investigation in the history of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) (more than 800, including an all-female African American crew). The work at this site served as a field school for several archeologists who had an impact on the field of archeology for generations.

· Significant architecture, such as that illustrated by the pre-contact mounds and the current park Visitor Center.

· Other historic contexts as identified.

The contexts listed above will provide information through which National Register documentation can be created in the next phase of the project.

The HRS shall illustrate and enumerate the park’s historic resources. Park staff and staff at the NPS Southeast Regional Office (SERO) in Atlanta, GA, the NPS Southeast Archeological Center (SEAC) in Tallahassee, FL and Ocumulge National Monument (OCMU) will assist the researchers in this part of the study by providing cultural resource data from various internal databases (LCS, CLI, ASMIS) as well as access to relevant archives, maps and photographs. The researcher/s shall include digital images documenting the present setting and condition of the cultural resources. The researchers shall also prepare an appropriate number of maps, using GIS, to illustrate the narrative.

Research Sites and Level of Effort

LEVEL OF EFFORT

Research will meet NPS standards for a thorough investigation, i.e., research will be done in selected published and documentary sources of known or presumed relevance that are readily accessible without extensive travel (though travel to OCMU, SERO and SEAC to gather data is expected) and that promise expeditious extraction of relevant data. Findings will be presented in no greater detail than required by this scope of work.

The contractor will contact and consult with the park’s Affiliated Tribes during the research process to seek input, gather and access available Tribal information and documentary sources related to associated historic contexts and resources within the study scope.

Previous Research Previous research and documentation on OCMU is substantial, and may provide valuable background information on specific historic contexts.

1) Prepare National Register documentation The contractor shall use all readily available primary and secondary source material, including NPS reports and sources obtained from Affiliated Tribes, and perform non-invasive physical investigations as necessary, to prepare new documentation for a district nomination for the property described in the addendum to this scope of work.

The submission will include a statement pertaining to site-specific museum collections. OCMU Museum collection is composed of artifacts that were collected from several Registered Archeology sites that were not on Federal property as well as those on Federal property. Since these non-Federal sites were excavated utilizing Federal funds the recovered artifacts were retained by the Federal Government (NPS). The statement will be prepared in consultation with SEAC and OCMU staff. See for more information, NPS 28- Cultural Resources Management Guideline, Appendix Q: Preparing National Register Forms, “Objects, Collections, and the National Register Form.” https://www.nps.gov/parkhistory/online_books/nps28/28appenq.htm

The documentation will be based on National Register criteria for significance and the integrity of historic resources, and it will consider appropriate historic contexts. This may include Criterion D, potential to yield significant data from documented and undocumented archeological sites illustrating the significance of prehistoric architecture, mounds, and the significance of Native American sacred sites and TCPs.

The contractor will utilize and incorporate into the submission the park’s Affiliated Tribe(s) input, available Tribal information and documentary sources, and will address comments related to associated historic contexts and resources within the nomination scope as directed by the NPS.

The information shall be submitted on a Form 10-900 (see Stipulation 4 below).

The contractor shall include photographic views that are representative of each resource type. Views shall include the buildings and structures and important landscape features and patterns. The contractor shall adhere to “Guidelines for Photographic Coverage” described in National Register Bulletin How to Complete a National Register Form, page 63-5. http://www.nps.gov/nr/publications/index.htm#bulletin
