PROJECT Michael Heilen.

This project reviews the validity of the assumptions made when, for the sake of conserving funding and curation space, in-field artifact analysis is used over lab analysis of artifacts in western states. Because test results showed that in-field and digital photo analyses of artifacts are of low accuracy and often inadequate for site interpretation, a set of recommendations is made for deciding how and in what situations field analysis is best applied.

The Tulsa District tasked the St. Louis District with identifying NAGPRA-related materials within the Wister Lake collections and separating these from the general, non-burial materials. Through consultation between the St. Louis and the Tulsa Districts, it was determined that the best course of action would be to transfer the Wister Lake NAGPRA collection of artifacts to the St. Louis District’s archaeological rehabilitation laboratory for this process. This is an arbitrary collection of...
