Even we in Australia could benefit from such a pro forma, so Can I put my name down for one too please.

Subject: Re: 19th-Century Homesteads and CRM
Since the Ozark National Forest, Like so many in the eastern United States,
was created from formerly private lands, we have Homesteads ALL OVER THE
PLACE. In conjunction with the Arkansas Archeological Survey, we have a
developed a prototype form which can be filled out in the field by either a
professional or Tech. The purpose is to give us enough information to
allow us to determine National Register potential, research potential,
interpretive potential, ect.
As in 99 percent of all CRM work, our purpose is 106 compliance and NOT
what research questions. Once we determine that a site has potential for
any of these three categories, it goes into the semi-permanent "flag and
avoid" category. Kind of a "death by benign neglect". We get to nominate
a couple of site to the National Register every few years which keeps us
Section 110 compliant. We finagle a Passport In Time (PIT) project every
now and then when we have personnel to supervise the projects. With these
level of excavations, we get enough real information to determine the
research potential of a site.
Anyone wishing an electronic copy of the form, just let me know.

It is easier to get forgiveness than permission.

Hello!
Does anyone have any references for work done with 19th-century homesteads
in
the context of CRM work? How does one determine if an artifact scatter (in
this context) should be recommended for more work? What sort of research
questions can one ask?
Obviously, any help/advice is much appreciated! :)
Thanks,
Jessica
