The Vermont State Historic Preservation Office's Guidelines for Conducting Archaeology in Vermont and Appendices

Author(s): Giovanna Peebles

Year: 2007

Summary

People have lived in Vermont for over 12,000 years. The vast majority of that history is unwritten and becomes known only through the archaeological record. Most often, archaeological investigations in Vermont occur in response to federal and state laws that protect archaeological resources. The Vermont Division for Historic Preservation, serving as the Vermont State Historic Preservation Office (VTSHPO), developed these Guidelines to provide a framework for those activities, as well as guidance for non-regulatory archaeological studies. These Guidelines replace the ones established in 1989. Since that date, more than a decade of archaeological studies throughout the state has provided an important perspective for refining and improving the current practice of archaeology in Vermont.
