Project Description

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is proposing to authorize a four-week archaeological field school on BLM managed lands in the Fort Rock region of eastern Oregon. The activity is proposed by the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs Oregon in partnership with GeoVisions, the University of Oregon, and the University of Nevada, Reno (collectively referred to as the project proponents). The project would be implemented under a valid permit issued pursuant to the Archaeological Resources Protection Act of 1979 (ARPA; 16 U.S.C. 470aa–mm) and its implementing regulations at 43 CFR 7. The permit holder would be responsible for ensuring that all field methods, documentation practices, and data management comply with ARPA requirements and permit conditions.
