1. Professional Qualifications: Archeological investigations must be supervised by an archeologist who meets the U.S. Secretary of the Interior's Professional Qualification Standards for Archeology (48FR 22716 or 36 CFR Part 61); or meets the requirements for Principal Investigator defined in Title 13, Part II of the Texas Administrative Code, Chapter 26 (Archaeology Division : 1).

For Archaeological Projects
In recognition of different levels of complexity and responsibility between Phase I, Phase II, and Phase III projects, the Kentucky SHPO accepts the following minimal qualifications for archaeological Field Supervisors working under the direction of an archaeological Principal Investigator. Upon petition by a Principal Investigator, the SHPO may approve exceptions to these qualifications. The SHPO may place any conditions or limitations deemed appropriate on the Field Supervisor if exceptions to these qualifications are granted. In the following requirements, “experience” means actual time spent in the field or lab, not a general period of employment. For example, five days of field or lab work would count as one week of experience, and twenty days would count as a month of experience.
a. Survey Projects (Phase I)
1. Undergraduate degree in Archaeology or Anthropology with an emphasis in Archaeology;
2. A minimum of four months archaeological laboratory experience; and
3. Twelve months field experience in North American archaeology, of which at least three months must be in Kentucky or the Ohio Valley (southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, western West Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee). In some instances analytical and report writing experience within the Ohio Valley may be substituted for up to two months of field experience.
b. Testing Projects (Phase II)
1. Two years full-time graduate school in Archaeology or Anthropology with an emphasis in Archaeology;
2. Demonstrated ability to analyze artifacts and write reports; and
3. Twelve months of field experience in North American archaeology, of which at least three of the twelve months must be in Kentucky or the Ohio Valley (southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, western West Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee) and at least four of the twelve months must be excavation. At least one of the twelve months must be in a supervisory role. In some instances analytical and report writing experience within the Ohio Valley may be substituted for up to two months of field experience.
c. Mitigation Projects (Phase III)
1. Graduate degree in Archaeology or Anthropology with an emphasis
in Archaeology;
2. Demonstrated ability to analyze artifacts and write reports; and
3. Twelve months of field experience in North American archaeology, of which at least three of the twelve months must be in Kentucky or the Ohio Valley (southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, western West Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee) and at least six of the twelve months must be excavation. At least four of the twelve months must be in a supervisory role. In some instances analytical and report writing experience within the Ohio Valley may be substituted for up to two months of field experience (Sanders 2001: 14-15).

The Principal Investigator must meet the professional standards set by the Secretary of the Interior and has the ultimate responsibility for the overall quality of the project and for achieving the objectives of the research design. The skills of the investigative personnel must be appropriate to the nature of the project and to the goals and specifications delineated in the research design (Virginia Department of Historic Resources 2001: 94).
