1. Experienced Inspectors' Workshop: Archaeology

3. Introduction: new developments and standard measures
New specifications:
Measures taken to protect archaeological sites on a project
Monitors
Range of potential impacts

4. New specifications: 00170.51 Protection of Cultural Sites
Applicable to disturbance of known sites and to accidental discovery
Lists Federal and State laws that address the protection of archaeological sites while on the job

5. New specifications: 00170.51 Protection of Cultural Sites
Details procedure, protective measures to maintain, and consequences of disturbance to cultural sites
Streamlines the process for regulatory buy-off

6. When archaeological sites are on a project:
No work zones:
Cost: in most circumstances no work zones satisfy federal regulations without further cost, time of excavation/data recovery, etc.
Visibility: demonstrates ODOT’s commitment to protecting sensitive areas to the Tribes and Regulators

7. When archaeological sites are on a project:
No work zones continued:
Assists contractor in knowing exactly where sensitive areas are on a project
Avoids accidental disturbance to resources during project construction

8. No work zones:
Typically extend from ditch line to right- of-way boundary
No work zone
No work zone

10. When archaeological sites are on a project:
No work zones continued:
Project archaeologist will meet with inspector and contractor on-site prior to construction to delineate no work zones
Fencing or other protective measures need to be maintained throughout the duration of the project.

11. Monitors:
Facilitate regulatory buy-off and tribal concurrence on projects in sensitive areas
Monitors will only be on-site for ground disturbing work

12. Monitors:
Monitoring facilitates coordination if sites are disturbed during construction
e.g., can prevent idling equipment
Monitors must attend all safety and pre- construction meetings

13. Monitors:
Monitors must go through inspector if they observe cultural material or advise halting construction; inspector will then call the project manager and further steps will be taken

14. Potential range of impacts:
Ground disturbance:
Staging of equipment and material
Embankment
Guardrail installation/flaring
Culvert extensions, etc.

15. Conclusion:
No work zones, monitoring and small scale testing help to ensure projects
Avoid resource conflicts
Obtain clearance from Tribes and Regulators
Stay on schedule
