About this opportunity

This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service -NPS, intention to fund the following project with University of Alaska Fairbanks under a Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit -CESU program. CESUs are partnerships that provide research, technical assistance, and education. The project intended award amount is $78,240, for project title: Amalik Bay Archeological Sites: Human sea-level change on the Pacific Coast of the Alaska Peninsula, ca. 8,000 ¿ 4,000 years ago. Projected project period is August 1, 2013 to November 1, 2014 STATUTORY AUTHORITY: Agreements Concerning Cooperative Research and Training on NPS Resources (16 § 1a-2(j)): The Secretary may enter into agreements with public or private educational institutions, States and their political subdivisions, for the purpose of developing research and training programs concerning the resources of the National Park System, and pursuant to such agreements, to accept from and make available to the cooperator such technical and support staff, financial assistance for mutually agreed upon research projects, supplies and administrative services relating to cooperative research units as the Secretary deems appropriate. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN: The objective of this agreement is to understand the nature of human settlement of the Pacific Coast of Katmai National Park, ca. 8000-4000 years ago through detailed investigation of known archaeological sites currently threatened by a variety of physical and biological forces, and through thorough investigation of how current and historic sea-level change both distorts our understanding of the distribution of coastal cultural resources and actively threatens the preservation of known resources today. The project includes three separate but related lines of inquiry: 1) limited subsurface investigation of two archaeological site types that date to the Ocean Bay 2) detailed analysis of the cultural residues found in each, including a pilot study to evaluate the feasibility of using isotopic analysis of shellfish remains to establish season of occupation, and; 3) a careful assessment of coastal geomorphology to settle disputes about the nature of tectonic uplift and coastal subsidence in different areas of the Pacific Coast of Katmai National Park & Preserve. The proposed research works towards further refinement of the Archaeological Overview and Assessment for Katmai National Park & Preserve, and will aid in management decisions about coastal cultural resources by establishing site significance, aiding in the interpretation of distinct cultural site types, providing an assessment of how physical ocean processes create a fragmentary cultural record, and enabling the prioritization of future cultural resource management initiatives. This work benefits UAMN¿s mission through research of Alaska and the Circumpolar North that ¿forms the basis for understanding the local as well as the global past, present and future,¿ while providing learning opportunities to students (in the field, the lab and the classroom), and interpretive narratives to the general public. The partner, in cooperation with the National Park Service will: 1. Participate in pre-field discussions between UAMN and NPS staff to organize survey design and field logistics. 2. Identify and hire appropriate research affiliates. 3. Arrange all field-based aviation safety measures for UAF participants. 4. Insure that staff is up-to-date on wilderness and wildlife safety training. 5. Coordinate 3-4 week field season, including outfitting (gear, food, tools), travel to the AK Peninsula, and preparation of basic planning documents. 6. Conduct requisite post-field data-management (Alaska Heritage Resource Survey cards, NPS Archaeological Sites Management Information System records, Geographic Information Systems [GIS]-based site maps and geodatabase catalogs, and field-notes). 7.
