New Mexico has had a system (Archaeological Records Management System -
ARMS) in place for a few years. It's managed by Tim Seaman (505/827-6347
or [log in to unmask]). Also, one of NCPTT's FY96 grants is a project
in Arizona to develop a state-wide archaeological sites database that
brings together the various decentralized records in the state. The
Arizona State Museum, the Arizona SHPO, Arizona State University, and the
Museum of Northern Arizona are working together on the project. Beth
Grindell at ASM ([log in to unmask]) could probably give you more
information. The final report will be available from our office after
completion of the project. And the National Park Service has recently
initiated an advisory group on data automation of SHPO records. You can
contact me if you'd like more information about that. Many states are
working on this issue, including Maryland, Massachusetts, Vermont, Wyoming,
Ohio, Idaho, and I'm sure many others. Though they may not be dealing
exclusively with archaeological records.

Subject: Archaeological Site Databases
Greetings all!
I am currently working on a database for the Virginia Department of
Historic Resources (which will be finished in only a couple of
weeks!) that will allow any individual to search through every single
site the state has recorded by catagories such as date of occupation,
cultural affiliation, theme, etc. It should be an exciting resource,
although it is limited, of course, by the quality of information recorded
by the excavators. In any case, it beats having to go through 30,000
paper records individually!!
I was wondering if anyone can tell me whether SHPOs in other states
have undertaken projects like this and how useful (or frustrating) the
results have been. We are putting the information into Integrated
Preservation Software (IPS), which was a system designed for the
National Park Services back in the dark ages (it is actually DOS-based!),
so I am also curious what software others have used.
You can respond either to me or the listserver depending on whether
anyone one else in interested in reading the responses.
Thanks
