Monitoring Goals and Objectives Goals: Increase the resilience of cultural resources to natural disturbances, Protect sites from impacts during restoration treatments actions, Provide for the sustainability of traditional cultural properties and other resources associated with traditional practices. Objectives: Account for cultural resources and potential effects through inventory and assessments, Minimize fire effects by reducing fuel loadings on CR sites, Avoid or control erosion at archaeological sites, especially to protect subsurface deposits, Maintain forests that provide continued availability to engage in traditional practices.
3
Cultural Resources Activities Inventory: identify and document sites within planning areas Assessment: standardized assessment of cultural resource sensitivity, fuel loadings, and erosion risks, prioritize protection locations and actions; develop treatment plans for protection Archaeological site treatments: avoid site impacts, adjust treatment areas and activities, reduce fuel loading, Tribal consultation: incorporate tribal concerns and recommendations in planning and implementation; build tribal partnerships

Joint Fire Science Program ArcBurn, and CFLR Adaptive Management Linkages between CFLR monitoring and ArcBurn Project: Quantify effects of heat exposure: temperature and duration CFLR provides field/prescribed burning contexts ArcBurn provides lab/controlled furnace and burn bed contexts Examine real-world interaction of fuels and environmental variables for differing types of archaeological resources → Use CFLR field outcomes to refine lab experiments Lab experiments and field monitoring outcomes inform on fuel treatments on sites and Rx burn actions/prescriptions: → Use lab and field outcomes to adjust protective measures → Assess methods and costs for archaeological site treatment → Improve site protective treatments (e.g., stumps)
