In order to assess a site's significance, its potential for contributing new or collaborative information to the theoretical and substantive knowledge of archaeology must be determined(Butler 1987;Townsend et al.1993). Consequently, researchers must consider how each site helps address the questions within the project research design and within the framework of other regional research (Butler 1987). The potential of any archaeological site to address research questions is based on determining the intactness of cultural deposits (integrity),the variety and quantity of artifacts,the clarity of site stratigraphy and the discreteness of site boundaries, and on the environmental context of each site (Glassow 1977). In addition, the relative occurrence of cultural assemblages in the region will be taken into account during site evaluation to help address issues of rarity and redundancy(Butler 1987; Glassow 1977). F. REPORTING Upon completion of the fieldwork, a management summary of the results of the survey will be prepared. This management summary will describe the preliminary interpretations, certify that the research design set forth was implemented, and that the fieldwork specified has been completed.The management summary wilt include a description of the survey, a summary of results, and recommendations.The management summary will be delivered to Orange County within 15 working days after the completion of fieldwork via email. Following completion of analyses, a report will be prepared detailing the results of the field investigation.The report will detail the results of the background research, fieldwork, and laboratory analysis.The report will be illustrated with photographs and drawings of sites and artifacts, as needed, and will conform to the reporting standards presented in the North Carolina Office of State Archaeology(OSA)guidelines. In addition to the report, NC OSA archaeological site forms will be completed for each recorded site. The report will include the following key elements: results of background research, archaeological site significance assessment and NRHP recommendations,scale mapping and locational information; and additional work recommendations, if any. G. DELIVERABLES ❑eliverables under this contract will include the following. • Dated management summary reporting the results of the intensive C&A survey delivered via email. ■ Two initial copies of the draft report on the intensive C&A survey for Orange County review with completed North Carolina Archaeological Site Forms via email. • Four copies of the final C&A report an medium-weight bond paper, bound or stapled, after all review comments have been addressed. H. SCHEDULE Legacy will proceed with this project in an expeditious manner once the Notice to Proceed(NTP) is received. Fieldwork will be completed with two weeks after NTP.The management summaries will be submitted within 15 days of the completion of fieldwork.The draft final report and North Carolina Archaeological Site Forms will be submitted within five weeks of the completion of fieldwork.The final report will be submitted within two weeks of the receipt of Orange County comments. I. RECORDS MANAGEMENT AND COLLECTION Legacy will store all artifacts and records resulting from the investigations undertaken under this Scope of Work.They will be stored temporarily until the appropriate final curation facility is determined.Artifacts recovered during the investigation will be labeled and boxed according to curation guidelines of the North Carolina OSA. All records, photographs, drawings, and electronic media produced or obtained under this Scope of Work will be the property of Orange County. 4
