Grants and Contracts Details
Description
This proposal has been prepared in response to a request by Mr. Jeffery Sole of The Nature
Conservancy for a proposal and cost estimate for conducting a Phase I archaeological survey of a
proposed 11-acre wetland within the Big Rivers Wildlife Management Area in Union County, Kentucky.
The land is owned by the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources, and that agency has
contracted with The Nature Conservancy to construct the wetland. Consequently, an archaeological
survey is necessary to evaluate the impact (if any) that the project will have on archaeological resources
in the project area.
This investigation is intended to provide specific information concerning presence of historic or
prehistoric archaeological resources within the proposed project area and to evaluate any archaeological
sites for their potential eligibility for listing on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The
work that is proposed will include a review of the existing archaeological sites and an evaluation of the
extant documentary and cartographic sources relevant to the project area. This information will serve as
the basis for the design and completion of a Phase I archaeological survey, using a combination of surface
and subsurface investigative techniques. This survey work and associated analysis and report preparation
will take place prior to initiation of actual construction efforts.
