AI Contract Overview

This project, managed by the Department of the Interior's Office of the Secretary, focuses on cultural resource management to maintain compliance with the Permian Basin Programmatic Agreement. The research involves archaeological investigations within the eastern foothills of the Guadalupe and Sacramento Mountains on BLM-managed lands. By targeting specific minimally disturbed sites based on geographic distribution and ring-midden characteristics, the project aims to document the creation and use of these middens through the collection of radiocarbon dates and charred plant remains. The scope of work includes excavations to establish occupation dates and identify plant materials used for food, fuel, and fiber, while also characterizing fire-cracked features. This effort builds upon previous surveys of seven study units to better understand non-local materials and site functionality. The opportunity is listed as a forecast under NAICS code 541620, with Aaron W. Whaley serving as the primary point of contact.

Full Description

This project funds research required to maintain compliance with the Permian Basin Programmatic Agreement. Building on an archaeological survey of seven study units in the eastern foothills of the Guadalupe and Sacramento Mountains, the project will obtain radiocarbon dates, charred plant remains, and evidence of ring‑midden use from a select group of minimally disturbed sites on BLM‑managed lands. Sites were chosen based on geographic distribution, ring‑midden characteristics, associated features, and the presence of non‑local materials. Excavations within and around the middens will document how they were created and used, establish dates of occupation, identify plant materials used for fuel, food, and fiber, and characterize other fire‑cracked features.
