Monitoring the condition of archaeological sites is required under Section 110 of the National Historic Preservation Act, Article 15 of the Archaeological Resources Protection Act, and Executive Order 13287; however, this responsibility is often overlooked in favor of funding the identification and evaluation of archaeological resources. This project presents best management practices to ensure consistent data collection and to aid in prioritizing future site treatment actions, and tools to...

More than a picture: Experiments in Terrestrial Lidar documentation in archaeological and architectural management at Texas Army National Guard (2015)
Texas Army National Guard is responsible for management of archaeological and historical buildings at several locations across the state. In order to more effectively integrate preservation concerns into the many internal systems of the Guard's organization, the Cultural Resources team has been reaching out to other departments for expertise and access to technology. This poster summarizes the efforts to utilize terrestrial LiDar not only for detailed documentation of historic properties, but...
Photogrammetry-based Deviation Analysis of WWII Wrecks in Saipan Using: Methodology, Explanations, and Results (2024)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Exploration-Forward Archaeology Through Community-Driven Research", at the 2024 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Photogrammetry-based 3D recording was conducted on nine submerged WWII American and Japanese wrecks in 2017 and again in 2023. The authors used the scaled 3D models in CloudCompare, a point cloud analysis software, to visualize and quantify the differences between the two years. In this paper, the authors will...
Prioritizing Site Treatment Actions (Legacy 10-122)
Building on the results of Legacy project #09-442 (recommended procedures for a program of archaeological site condition monitoring), this project developed site treatment protocols designed to prevent further deterioration of sites on Department of Defense (DoD) lands. In addition to typical site treatments such as stabilization, burial, or mitigation through excavation, the project's report examines landscaping around sites to change erosion patterns or divert pedestrian traffic, as well as...
Prioritizing Site Treatment Actions (Legacy 10-122) (2012)
Building on the results of Legacy project #09-442 (recommended procedures for a program of archaeological site condition monitoring), this project developed site treatment protocols designed to prevent further deterioration of sites on DoD lands. In addition to typical site treatments such as stabilization, burial, or mitigation through excavation, this report examines landscaping around sites to change erosion patterns or divert pedestrian traffic, as well as education programs or enhanced site...
A Public Good Conservation Approach For Underwater Cultural Heritage Management Through Citizen Science (2022)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "What’s in a Name? Discussions of Terminology, Theory and Infrastructure of Citizen Science in Maritime Archaeology" , at the 2022 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. To know what is happening to underwater cultural heritage (UCH) sites from natural and cultural activity, sites must be monitored regularly and systematically. Currently, UCH management agencies are largely reliant on a few existing professionals to collect...
Resisting the River: Site Monitoring and Erosion at Fort Eustis, Virginia (2022)
This is a poster submission presented at the 2022 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In 2010 the Fort Eustis Cultural Resources Management staff implemented a site monitoring program in which known archaeological sites at the installation are visited regularly. As erosion of archaeological sites located along the James and Warwick rivers is a long-running problem, in 2015 the measurement of erosion from known points was added to the assessment of high-risk sites. The...
