Historical Ecology to Understand Human Responses to Environmental and Climate Change: Research, National Register Nomination, and Public Interpretation of Two Archeological Sites at Redwood National Park

The National Park Service intends to award a cooperative agreement to Washington State University for a project titled "Historical Ecology to Understand Human Responses to Environmental and Climate Change: Research, National Register Nomination, and Public Interpretation of Two Archeological Sites at Redwood National Park". The project aims to compile existing data and collect new data on two cultural sites within Redwood National Park, allowing for the National Register of Historic Places Nominations for CA-DNO-14 and CA-DNO-15 to be further updated and finalized. The project will also produce interpretative materials, including digitally accessible and audio-visual information, for public benefit relating to the Tolowa archeological, ethnographical, and historical ecological record at these and other associated sites within REDW. • Compile all information and data derived from past investigations at cultural sites CA-DNO-14 and CA-DNO-15 into one report. • Write a technical report that will summarize all previous archeological investigations and ethnographic documentations derived from these aforementioned sites, and relate this information to inland cultural site locations. • Update the National Register Nomination Forms for Site CA-DNO-14 and CA-DNO-15 and include as appendices in the final report. • Assist with cataloguing associated artifact collections and associated records derived from past research at CA-DNO-14 and CA-DNO-15. • Assist in preparing artifacts and associated records for accessing in the REDW curation facility. • Develop a manuscript suitable for submission to a peer-reviewed journal on aspects of the past research conducted at or derived from these two sites and related site locations.
