Web-based Archaeology Guidance
Now Available
Jun. 29, 2007 -- The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) has developed new archaeology guidance to assist federal agencies in meeting their responsibilities under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. While the focus of the guidance is on the special responsibilities of federal agencies, it is also intended to help other stakeholders, such as State and Tribal Historic Preservation Officers, private sector consultants, and the interested public, navigate issues posed by archaeological properties in the Section 106 process.
The ACHP’s new archaeology guidance is presented as questions and answers in an interactive, Web-based format. Its initial focus is on initiation of the Section 106 consultation process, identification and evaluation of historic properties, and determining appropriate mitigation. Additional questions and answers dealing with federal agency responsibilities for archaeology on private lands, quality control and reporting, and artifact curation will be addressed in the near future. Answers have links to pertinent federal laws, regulations, standards and other agency guidance, as well as related questions.
