Description:
Abstract:
This dataset includes a vector grid of approximately 1/2 mile cells indicating the presence of Archaeological Sites.
Purpose:
This data is produced and maintained by the HPO to provide accurate cultural resource information to government, regulated customers, and the public.
Supplemental_Information:
THIS DATA HAS BEEN CLIPPED TO THE NEW JERSEY HIGHLANDS BOUNDARY.
This dataset includes a vector grid of approximately 1/2 mile cells indicating the presence of Archaeological Sites that: 1. Are included in the New Jersey or National Registers of Historic Places, 2. Have been determined Eligible for inclusion through federal or state processes as administered by the HPO, or 3. Have been identified through cultural resource survey or other documentation on file at the HPO.
The majority of features in the dataset represent categories 1 and 2 above. HPO has not yet begun comprehensive digitizing for category 3. Inclusion in this dataset does not preclude the existence of other archaeological sites as yet unidentified, unrecorded, or undocumented.
Archaeological sites are particularly sensitive to destruction and vandalism, and this grid format protects specific site locations while alerting users of this data to the potential presence of archaeological resources in their area of interest. this format is consistent with National Register guidelines.
THIS DATASET REPRESENTS ONLY A PORTION OF THE TOTAL NUMBER OF LISTED, ELIGIBLE OR IDENTIFIED ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES IN NEW JERSEY. THE HPO IS STILL IN THE PROCESS COMPLETING THIS COVERAGE. (See Completeness Report)
FURTHER, THE NJ STATE MUSEUM IS THE OFFICIAL REGISTRAR OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES IN NEW JERSEY. USERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO CHECK FOR RECORDED ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES IN THEIR AREA OF INTEREST BY CONTACTING MR. GREGORY LATTANZI, BUREAU OF ARCHAEOLOGY AND ETHNOLOGY, NEW JERSEY STATE MUSEUM, 205 W STATE ST, TRENTON NJ 08625-0530; PHONE 609-292-8594.
These layers are developed maintained by the HPO, and are provided for informational purposes only.
INSPECTION OF THESE DATA LAYERS DOES NOT CONSTITUTE IDENTIFICATION LEVEL CULTURAL RESOURCES SURVEY UNDER SECTION 106 OF THE NATIONAL HISTORIC PRESERVATION ACT OR OTHER LAW OR REGULATION. NOR DOES IT CONSTITUTE PROJECT REVIEW OR COMPLIANCE UNDER ANY STATE OF FEDERAL LAW.

Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
This data set should not be relied on for consistent horizontal positional accuracy. Because of its method of development accuracy of the locations varies considerably. The highest quality data have approximately the same accuracy as the New Jersey 2007-2008 High Resolution Orthophotos. The lowest quality data may vary from their base map location by 100's of feet.
Vertical_Positional_Accuracy:
Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report: No vertical positions are included in this data set.
