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
