Consultation ARI can assist parks and recreation management agencies by providing consultation on methods that can be used to avoid impacts to archaeological resources from projects and activities carried out or managed by these agencies. If required, formal archaeological resource protection plans can be prepared for these agencies. These services can assist parks and recreation management agencies in preserving and protecting archaeological resources on the lands they manage and in preventing lawsuits resulting from inadvertent impacts to archaeological resources caused by agency projects and activities. ARI also can provide consultation on impacts to archaeological resources resulting from parks and recreation management agency projects and activities. This consultation will identify and plan potential responses to these impacts. The responses may include: 1) attempting to determine how and why the impacts to archaeological resources occurred and how such impacts can be avoided in the future; 2) fully documenting the damage to archaeological resources resulting from the impacts; 3) developing monetary value determinations for the damage as a measure of the severity of harm; and 4) preparing for any litigation that may result from the impacts to archaeological resources. If necessary, responses to impacts to archaeological resources can be carried out with assistance from ARI’s investigation, damage assessment and expert witness services. ARI can assist parks and recreation management agencies in the investigation of unauthorized damage to archaeological resources. These expert investigation services include developing methods to detect unauthorized damage to archaeological resources, systematically examining locations where damage has occurred, fully documenting the damage, attempting to determine how and why it occurred and preparing a report on the findings of the investigation. If necessary, these investigation services can be supplemented by ARI’s damage assessment and expert witness services. ARI also can assist parks and recreation management agencies in the investigation of unauthorized damage to paleontological resources and various other types of natural resources. ARI can assist parks and recreation management agencies by providing damage assessment services for unauthorized damage to archaeological resources. These expert damage assessment services include documenting the damage through field damage assessment procedures, determining the effect of the damage in terms of accepted monetary values for archaeological damage and preparing an archaeological damage assessment report. ARI also can review and provide expert analysis of damage assessment reports prepared by agency archaeologists or other archaeologists to assess their content in relation to the most current standards for archaeological damage assessment. If necessary, the damage assessment services can be supplemented by ARI’s investigation and expert witness services. ARI can assist parks and recreation management agencies by providing expert witness services for unauthorized damage to archaeological resources. Expert witness testimony can be provided for investigation and damage assessment operations carried out by ARI for this damage. ARI also can review and evaluate investigation and damage assessment operations carried out by other investigators or archaeologists for damage to archaeological resources. ARI can develop and present training on archaeological resource protection for parks and recreation management agencies. Potential topics of the training include:
