Archaeological Data Recovery Clause Samples

The ARCHAEOLOGICAL DATA RECOVERY clause outlines the procedures and responsibilities for handling the discovery of archaeological materials during a project. Typically, it requires the immediate cessation of work in the affected area, notification of relevant authorities, and the implementation of a plan to recover and preserve any significant artifacts or data. This clause ensures that valuable archaeological resources are protected and properly managed, preventing accidental destruction and ensuring compliance with legal and ethical standards.

The data recovery plan to retrieve significant archaeological information will be developed and implemented by the New York District or its representative(s), following approval from the NYSHPO and prior to the implementation of project-related activities within or in the vicinity of the archaeological sites.
Archaeological Data Recovery. In consultation with the SHPO, IDOT will prepare a data recovery plan with a research design for any affected significant archaeological deposits associated with impacted historic properties that is consistent with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties, the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards and Guidelines for Archaeological and Historic Preservation, and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation’s Treatment of Archaeological Properties: A Handbook.
