Environmental Review:
GIS
The Washington State Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation (DAHP) GIS Initiative is a set of Geographic Information System based tools that help public agencies design projects to avoid damage to archaeological and historic sites during the environmental planning process.
The DAHP GIS system
consists of a series of maps portraying the known location of recorded
archaeological and historic sites. These digital maps and information
represent the next generation of computerized cultural resource management.
GIS Layers at DAHP
Because of the potential for vandalism and looting, archaeological site locations are not publicly available. However, this information is shared with a variety of local governments, agencies, tribal governments and academic institutions by means of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to insure state and federal laws are followed. Please contact Stephenie Kramer at (360) 586-3083 or Stephenie.Kramer@dahp.wa.gov for more information about obtaining a MOU.
DAHP has also developed several GIS layers (Meta data) for historic and prehistoric sites. The layers include information on state and NR register sites, historic property inventory sites and cultural resource survey locations. The cultural resource survey locations are being digitized based on the USGS quadrangle base maps. The registered sites and historical inventory sites will be geo-coded and digitized as appropriate. These layers are in development. For further information about our GIS program contact Rick Anderson at (360) 586-3070 or Rick.Anderson@dahp.wa.gov.
Scanning
Cultural Resource Records
DAHP is continuing to scan
legacy cultural resource survey forms. All archaeology site forms, state and National register nomination
forms, and historic property inventory forms have been scanned. The following is the current scanning status of the various documents at DAHP:
- Archaeolgical Site Forms (download pdf file)
- Cultural Resource Survey Reports (download pdf file)
- Forest Service Site Forms (downlod pdf file)
- Historic Property Inventory Forms: legacy data (download pdf file)
- State and NR Register Nominations (download pdf file)
