Guidance for archaeological site monitoring
South Carolina State Historic Preservation Office
South Carolina State Historic Preservation Office
Abstract
Monitoring is the observation of construction excavation activities by an archaeologist in order to identify, recover, protect and/ or document archaeological information or materials. An archaeologist who meets the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualification Standards must be present for all monitored excavations. The selection of a prehistoric or historic qualified archaeologist should be based upon the type of archaeological deposits that are anticipated to be encountered. The State Historic Preservation Office recommends that a scope of work be prepared prior to construction to determine protocol.
