  • Guide to Mitigation Plans
    Guide to Mitigation Plans Describing Scottsdale’s Requirements for Mitigating Development Impacts on Archaeological Sites GUIDE TO MITIGATION PLANS Describing Scottsdale’s Requirements For Mitigating Development Impacts On Archaeological Sites INTRODUCTION WHO WILL USE THIS GUIDE? Scottsdale’s Preservation Division prepared this guide for the general public, including landowners, developers, and City staff to use to understand local archaeology requirements. This guide can be used by anyone who wishes to become better informed about why identifying and protecting archaeological resources is important to the City, what archaeologists do, what steps are used by archaeologists to properly document and record a site, what the terms mean that archaeologists use, and what can be gained by archaeologists digging up and studying the remnants of past human activities. WHAT IS A MITIGATION PLAN? A Mitigation Plan is a plan for the preservation, recovery, excavation, archiving, monitoring and/or documentation of one or more significant archaeological resources or sites in Scottsdale that will be disturbed by a development project. The City will determine when a Mitigation Plan is required due to the impacts of a development project on archaeological resources. A Mitigation Plan is not required unless a proposed development project will impact significant archaeological resources. PURPOSES AND OBJECTIVES OF SCOTTSDALE’S ARCHAEOLOGY STANDARDS Scottsdale City Council adopted the Protection of Archaeolgical Resources ordinance in July 1999 to identify, protect, and recover significant archaeological resources when necessary. The approved archaeology standards apply Citywide to all activities that will disturb the ground, and are in Chapter 46 - Planning Development and Fees of the Scottsdale Revised Code.

  • Historic Artifact Handbook
    Historic Artifact Handbook by Jonathon C. Horn Alpine Archaeological Consultants, Inc. PO Box 2075 Montrose, CO 81402 March 2005 The intent of this handbook is to provide site recorders with little or no background in historic artifact identification sufficient information so that they can provide consistent descriptive information about the artifacts and site features they are observing. Good description of observed features and artifacts is essential for functional and chronological determinations to be made, thereby insuring that sites or site components are evaluated for significance using the proper thematic context. Regardless of whether or not an individual has the expertise to interpret the evidence present at a particular site, anyone carrying out site recordation has the obligation and should have the ability to provide good descriptive information. A large portion of this handbook is composed of illustrations. For the most part, these are self- explanatory and little text will be written to accompany them. Many artifacts will not be described whatsoever. A list of references is also provided. The focus of the handbook will be on commonly found artifacts that are particularly useful in providing dating information. Historic artifacts from the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries are particularly time sensitive, because of the rapid growth and change of technology. Using an assemblage of historic artifacts, it is not uncommon to be able to date a site to a 5 or 10-year time period. Functional interpretations can also be quite accurate using the artifacts alone. When coupled with well-directed historical research, the information that can be learned from a historic site can be very illuminating, not only from a historical perspective, but from anthropological, behavioral, technological, and socioeconomic viewpoints as well.
