This National Cooperative Highway research Program (NCHRP) synthesis report focuses on practices that improve the cost, timeliness, and public benefit of archaeological investigations, in addition to those that streamline the overall transportation project delivery process and enhance the stewardship of archaeological resources. Information on these effective practices was obtained through a literature search and a survey of a variety of agencies and organizations. The survey involved state departments of transportation (DOTs), FHWA state division offices, state historic preservation offices (SHPOs), Native American tribes, and cultural resource management firms. Thirty-four state DOTs, five FHWA offices, seven SHPOs, six tribes, and five cultural resource management firms responded to the survey. The literature review and survey identified a wide range of effective practices associated with the management of archaeological investigations. These practices fall into the following categories: Communication; Internal Business Practices; Project Delivery: Integrating Section 106, National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), and Design; Pre-Project Planning; Innovative Approaches to Section 106 Steps. |
