Section 13-278-3 - Preparation of a data recovery Plan(a) An archaeological data recovery plan (research design) shall be prepared by an archaeologist who meets the minimum requirements under chapter 13-281 prior to the start of archaeological data recovery. This plan shall: (1) A management summary that presents concise information, with the lay reader in mind, to include: (A) The sites studied; and(B) General findings relevant to research objectives;(2) An introduction, including the reasons for the project and the location of the study area. This shall include:(A) A portion of the relevant United States Geological Survey standard 1:24,000 topographic map showing the ahupua'a, the parcel, and the sites studied; and(B) Text, which specifies the island, district, ahupua'a, and the tax map key (TMK) of the parcel.(3) A research objectives section which identifies the research objectives, test implications, and relevant information to address the research objectives;(4) An archaeological field methods section which identifies:(A) Number of personnel, with the names and qualifications of the principal investigator and field director;(B) When the work was done; and(C) Methods planned in the data recovery plan and any deviations, to include sampling strategies and specifics on techniques used.(5) Archaeological fieldwork findings;(7) Historical and oral historical findings, if covered in the data recovery plan and if not reported elsewhere;(8) Research conclusions,(10) Location of depository (archive) for collections, photographs, written site records, and maps (may be presented in an appendix).(b) In the archaeological fieldwork findings section of the report, each site studied Shall be individually described, to include:(1) State site number and any previous numbers;(2) Reference to a previous study, if the site has been recorded before; (1) Identify historic properties to be studied;(2) Identify research objectives to be addressed. This shall be done through reviewing prior archaeological and historical work in the parcel, ahupua'a, and wider region. The specifics of these research objectives will vary with the extent of prior work;(3) Identify data needed to address the research objectives;(4) Identify field methods to be used to acquire and analyze the data. Any sampling approaches to be used shall be noted here. The plan shall also use the most efficient methods to try to answer the research objectives;(5) Identify any necessary laboratory work. This work may include, but not be limited to, dating, faunal analyses, soil analyses, botanical analyses, and artifact analyses. If osteological analysis of human skeletal remains is to be undertaken it shall conform to chapters 13-300 and 13-283;(6) Identify a procedure for depositing collections after conclusion of the data recovery project, and(7) If burials are to be disinterred, a written data recovery plan is not required for inadvertent discoveries. For burials the procedures of section 6E-43, HRS, and chapter 13-300 shall be followed.(b) If properties deemed significant under paragraphs 13-275-6(b)(5) or 13-284-6(b)(5) are involved, the archaeologist shall consult with members of the relevant ethnic group and consider any comments when preparing this plan. The plan shall describe the consultation process, list the consulted individuals and organizations, and summarize their comments.[Eff DEC 11 2003] (Auth: HRS §§ 6E-3, 6E-43, 6E-43.5) (Imp: HRS §§ 6E-3, 6E-7, 6E-8, 6E-42, 6E-43)
