The National Park Service Archeology Program has developed draft guidance for managing cultural resources within the context of wildland fire and structural fire. We would like comments from archeology professionals on these documents.
Please download a zipped copy of these documents, use the Comment form.docx for your review, and email your comments document to Karen_Mudar@nps.gov.
As the relationship between documents is a little complicated, see the diagram below with the major blocks of topics. Not all of the toolbox tools are posted here. Please share this message widely, and thank you for assisting with this project.
