This project was developed with the BLM, New Mexico Carlsbad Field Office as a means of sharing archaeological data and information from the Permian Basin project. A number of reports and data from investigations by different CRM firms have been added to the collection. Digital Antiquity curators uploaded both the full reports and redacted versions of the reports (with confidential specific site location information removed from the text and illustrations). The metadata record for each report is generally available to tDAR users and the redacted versions of the reports can be accessed by registered tDAR users.
