“Documenting Post-European Contact Archaeological Sites in Oklahoma” webinar

On Tuesday, December 6, from 10 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. (Central Time), the State Historic Preservation Office will hold a free webinar on the subject of documenting Post-European contact by examining various archaeological sites in Oklahoma.

This presentation is intended to provide guidance to archaeologists documenting Post-European Contact archaeological sites in Oklahoma for review by the Oklahoma State Historic Preservation Office (OKSHPO). We will review available resources for researching your project area and site, both prior to an actual survey and after you have identified post-contact resources in the field, discuss best practices for completing a site form for a post-contact archaeological site or site component, and discuss National Register eligibility considerations when assessing these resources paying particular note to the difference between Site Significance and Site Integrity. Questions will be welcomed throughout the presentation.
