DocuSign Envelope ID: 16F7E188 -42F5- 4144- AF1B- 934E4ACOFE59 approved in advance. Potential depositors should call (919) 715 -5599 or (919) 807 -6555 or email the Deputy State Archaeologist or OSARC Laboratory Supervisor for information at any stage in the planning or execution of a project. Questions on conservation will be answered by the Laboratory Supervisor. Consultations are encouraged at all phases of research, from preliminary planning to field work to analysis, because experience has shown this practice to be beneficial and cost - effective for both the depositors and the OSA. H. Collection Submission To request submission of a collection to the North Carolina Office of State Archaeology Research Center ( OSARC), call (919) 715 -5599 or email the OSARC Laboratory Supervisor. Decisions on the acceptance of collections will be made in writing by the State Archaeologist or their designee (North Carolina Administrative Code T07:04R.0803). After a request has been approved, the Laboratory Supervisor will provide an Incoming Collections Form that should be completed and returned prior to collection submission. a. Responsibilities The cleaning, sorting, cataloging, documenting, conserving, and packaging of archaeological materials are the responsibilities of the depositor. The OSA may be able to provide initial processing services on a cost - reimbursable basis; call (919) 715 -5599 or email the OSARC Laboratory Supervisor for information. Whether OSA staff or the depositor assume the responsibility, collections accessioned into the permanent collections of the OSA must conform to the following instructions. Costs of specialized analyses involving such materials that are part of regulatory compliance reports, and which precede acceptance of collections by the OSA, are the responsibility of the individual or agency. b. Ownership Materials recovered from private lands should be accompanied by an agreement signed by the landowner stating that the materials recovered from the subject property have been permanently donated for curation to the State of North Carolina. Contact the OSA Laboratory Supervisor for Deed of Gift forms. Federal or state agencies wishing to donate or loan collections from projects they have undertaken should submit cover letters addressed to the OSA Laboratory Supervisor stating those intentions. These communications must precede the actual transfer of collections by at least one month, and include or reference the terms of agreements reached with the OSA for permanent care of the materials (cf. 36 CFR 79.8). Project- or site - specific waivers for donation or maintenance of agency -owned collections may be granted for older collections by mutual written agreement between agency officials and the OSA. Waivers of property donation forms may be appropriate in circumstances where specific landowner donations or agreements were not obtained by agencies at the time collections were made.
