GIS Mapping <br />While use of GIS technologies is not required, it is strongly recommended to more <br />accurately map sites and field conditions. The following recommendations apply when using <br />GIS technologies and submitting shapefile information to the OSA: <br />An Esri geodatabase or shapefile is preferred, and the recommended projections are <br />NAD 83 NC State Plane (ft) or WGS 1984 Web Mercator. <br />Archaeological sites recorded as part of the same project should be grouped together <br />into one polygon shapefile or feature class. Attributes should at a minimum include: <br />state site number (if known), temporary site number, site type (historic /prehistoric/ <br />both), USGS topographic map name, and recommended National Register status. <br />Survey areas should be submitted as a separate shapefile or feature class. <br />For more complex datasets, please contact the OSA GIS Specialist to devise a data <br />submission plan. <br />North Carolina Oce of State Archaeology — Archaeological Investigation Standard and Guidelines December 2017) Page 16 <br />
