Scope of Work: The Phase IA Archaeological Reconnaissance Survey, which according to the state guidelines as
revised in October 2021 by the Association of Iowa Archaeologists (AIA), results in the characterization of a region's
archaeological sites and involves extensive background research with limited field investigation. The survey often focuses
on soil and preservation conditions rather than systematic archaeological site discovery. Reconnaissance surveys are very
general in scope and do not normally make determinations of significance or NRHP eligibility. Such surveys can indicate
that all or a portion of a project area lacks the potential to contain intact archaeological deposits, and therefore no further
archaeological work is warranted in those areas. However, in most instances, this type of survey may not provide
sufficient information with which to support an agency's determination of effect in fulfillment of mandated compliance.
In those instances, further work in the form of a Phase I Intensive Archaeological Investigation to achieve that compliance
would be recommended (AIA 2021).
Schedule: A final report will be submitted to the City by July 29, 2022.
