If none of the <br />categories adequately describes the current site vegetation, please choose OTHER and describe the type <br />of vegetation in the space provided. <br />3o. DISTANCE TO WATER / FROM SHORE: Approximate distance (in meters) from site to nearest <br />permanent water source, or to shore if underwater resource <br />31. NEAREST PERMANENT WATER TYPE: Choose the type of permanent water that is nearest to the site <br />and record the name of that water source when available. Use the OTHER category for situations not <br />described by the categories listed. In the case of farm ponds, canals, and other man -made bodies of <br />water, this field should be left blank. However, if the underlying original stream or water source can be <br />identified from the USGS map then the original water type and distance should be coded. <br />32. DRAINAGE BASIN: Choose name from drop -down menu. <br />33. ESTIMATED SITE SIZE (m2): Choose the category that best describes the maximum site area (in square <br />meters). <br />34. GROUND VISIBILITY LOW/ HIGH: Record the estimated percentage of ground surface visibility at the <br />time the site was surveyed. <br />35. UNDERWATER VISIBILITY (FEET): Record visibility conditions when the underwater resource was <br />visited. <br />36. SITE CONDITION: Choose the relevant categories of environmental factors at the site. If none of the <br />categories listed adequately describes the site, use the OTHER category and the space provided to <br />describe the site's condition. <br />37. PERCENT DESTROYED/ DATE DESTROYED: Choose the estimated percentage of the site that has <br />been destroyed, and record the month and year in which the destruction occurred. <br />38. DESTRUCTION CAUSES: Choose the item or items which best describe destruction causes at the site. If <br />none of the listed categories adequately describe the circumstances, then select OTHER and use the <br />space provided for explanation. Additionally, if excavations have occurred at the site, they should be <br />listed even if other types of site destruction have destroyed a greater portion of the site. <br />Investigations <br />39. COLLECTIONS MADE: Indicate if a surface collection was obtained for the site at the time of survey. <br />40. COLLECTION STRATEGY: Indicate the type of collection strategy used to obtain the surface materials <br />from the site. If none of the listed categories adequately describes the methodology used, then select <br />OTHER and use the space provided for explanation. <br />41. AREA COVERED IN CONTROLLED COLLECTION: Record the approximate area (in square meters) <br />covered in any controlled collections of surface materials from the site. <br />42. TEST MADE: Indicate if subsurface tests were conducted to determine the presence or absence of subsurface <br />cultural deposits. <br />43. TESTING METHODS: Indicate the type of subsurface testing used at the site. If none of the listed categories <br />adequately describe the methodology used, then select OTHER and use the space provided for <br />explanation. <br />44. EXCAVATION DATE and INSTITUTION EXCAVATING: Use these fields only for investigations <br />utilizing test units. Indicate the MONTH and YEAR when excavations were conducted. Additionally, <br />record the institution and its appropriate identification code. A code listing is provided in Appendix <br />A of this Guide. If the excavating institution is not listed, then contact the OSA for an appropriate <br />designation. <br />OSA Site Form Handbook Version VII, Page 5 <br />
