The State Historic Preservation Office small clusters of lithic debitage, appear to lack both contextual information and systemic context, and therefore such archaeological evidence would not constitute an archaeological site for cultural resource review purposes. However, two clarifying statements must be offered. First, data do possess information of utility for scientific research purposes, all archaeological data encountered as a result of a

hich may exist within the impact area of a proposed undertaking. In general, the archaeological consultant must identify all archaeological resources over 50 years of age within the study area in terms of their potential importance for archaeological research. Archaeological resources under 50 years of age should also be evaluated regarding their potential for yielding information of exceptional importance for historical and/or archaeological research. In order to achieve such a comprehensive inventory of archaeological resources and to maintain an uncompromising accuracy of archaeological data identification, the consultant must utilize a sy

stematic interdisciplinary research approach. Further, the State Historic Preservation Office reserves the right to inspect all field and laboratory investigations during all phases of archaeological resource identification and evaluation in order to ensure that professional standards are maintained and that the best interests of the cultural resource, the federal government, and the State of Connecticut are served.

In such cases, the State Historic Preservation Office recommends that the agency adhere to the the National Park Service in 36 CFR 66, Appendix C.l(b), in its solicitation for and evaluation of archaeological In addition to these guidelines, the State Historic Preservation Office recommends that an agency ensure the satisfaction of the following criteria: Professional archaeological consultants should be affiliated with an institution or organization which equipment for professional field investigations: (2)adequate laboratory facilities for data stabilization, storage and curatorial and retrieval facilities fo

The second major variable which affects the response of archaeological consultants to an agency's request for proposal for archaeological services is the coordination, or lack thereof, between the agency's timetable for project archaeological investigations during New England's winter and early spring months. Therefore, the agency should impossibility, of undertaking archaeological field work - 39 - during New England's winter weather into the projected schedule for its und

Due to the impracticability of archaeological field investigations during the winter period and the concurrent increasing demand for professional archaeological services during New England's weather-shortened archaeological field season, the State Historic Preservation Office has intentionally structured the archaeological research requirements, as described below, so that the location and as two distinct phases: assessment andreconnaisance.
