Information Bulletin Number 4 - August 15, 2005
New Archaeological Site Inventory Form and Guide
Archaeological site information is used by a variety of people for
different purposes. To maintain and distribute archaeological data that
meets the needs of these diverse users, the Province developed the Heritage
Resource Inventory Application (HRIA). The HRIA was designed to streamline
and expedite the process of entering and retrieving information, both
online and manually. To accomplish these objectives, it is imperative
that data arrive in a consistent and standard format.
The new Archaeological Site Inventory Form and Guide have been redesigned
to correspond with the HRIA in that they:
-
match the fields in the HRIA
-
clarify the content of fields such as artifacts/features, age
of site, site visitors, etc., and
-
allow for the electronic submission of the site form, the site
map, and detailed feature data.
Copies of the new inventory form and guide may be obtained on our
Forms and Document Library. Only the new version of the site form will be accepted by the
Branch after August 16, 2005.
