B. BACKGROUND RESEARCH <br /> The background research will include relevant land use data from the Orange County Register of Deeds <br /> and an examination of historic maps of Hillsborough. Background research may also include contacting <br /> historical researchers who have special knowledge of the area. The purpose of the background research is <br /> to compile sufficient and appropriate information to understand the cultural context of any cultural <br /> resources identified during the project. <br /> C. DATA ANALYSIS <br /> All recovered artifacts will be cleaned and conserved in a manner appropriate to assure their stability. All <br /> diagnostic artifacts will be fully provenienced and labeled. The cultural and temporal affiliation, material <br /> of manufacture, style, function, and form of recovered artifacts will be identified. <br /> D. REPORTING OF RESULTS <br /> Upon completion of fieldwork, a Preliminary Field Report(draft report)will be provided. The draft report <br /> will detail the results of the background research, fieldwork, and laboratory analysis. The draft report will <br /> be illustrated with photographs and drawings, as needed, and will conform to the reporting standards <br /> outlined in the "Guidelines for Preparation of Archaeological Survey Reports," prepared by OSA. This <br /> report will provide information on the number and type of sites, if any, found during the monitoring. A <br /> cursory description of each site will be made along with a determination of eligibility for the NRHP. In <br /> addition to the report, an archaeological site form will be completed if a site is identified by the drilling. A <br /> Final Report will be produced after review comments are received. <br /> 3. COST <br /> A summary of the time and materials costs is provided below. It is anticipated that the monitoring will be <br /> completed in 8 hours, background research in 4 hours, and a summary report if no archaeological <br /> materials are found in 4 hours.
