Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) posted a discretionary cooperative agreement opportunity titled "BLM CA CESU Humboldt State University Archaeological Sites Significance Evaluation Program" (Funding Opportunity Number L11AS00172) under the Natural Resources activity category, specifically cultural resource management (CFDA 15.224). The project is centered on archaeological fieldwork, laboratory processing, and reporting at the historic Falk town and mill site within California's Headwaters Forest Reserve. The main purpose is to generate new archaeological data that can be used to revise or re-draft the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) nomination for the Falk Historic District, strengthening the district documentation with updated site mapping, testing results, and formal significance evaluations.
The work described focuses on several contributing areas associated with the Falk Historic District. These include the historic mill town components at Falk, a small cabin site located above the area known as the Wagon Wheel Site, the Craftsman Bungalow, and the area surrounding the Falk brothers' residences near the mill. The recipient's responsibilities include systematically mapping the relevant archaeological loci, conducting targeted subsurface testing to determine whether intact archaeological deposits are present, documenting field observations, and producing the written significance evaluation materials needed to support NRHP documentation. A key feature of the project is its applied training component: Humboldt State University staff would carry out the work with the assistance of student volunteers, integrating education and hands-on experience into the investigation while still meeting professional cultural resource management standards.
Field methods are defined at a baseline level but allow professional judgment in execution. At minimum, the equivalent of two 2-meter by 2-meter excavation units must be investigated at each site, with the exact placement and configuration of test units determined "judgmentally" based on conditions at each locus. This approach implies a focused testing strategy designed to answer significance and integrity questions efficiently, rather than broad-scale excavation. Laboratory tasks would typically involve cleaning, sorting, cataloging, and analyzing recovered materials consistent with standard archaeological practice, followed by synthesis of results into reporting products. The reporting deliverables are expected to document site condition, deposits and features encountered, artifact and ecofact findings, and an evaluation of site significance and eligibility elements relevant to NRHP criteria, all aimed at directly supporting an updated nomination for the Falk Historic District.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity anticipated a single award with an estimated total funding amount of 50 (as listed in the source record), with an award ceiling of 50 and an award floor of 5. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement. Eligible applicants were limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, aligning with the partnership structure implied by the title and the role of Humboldt State University. The opportunity was posted on July 18, 2011, with an original and current closing date of August 1, 2011, and it was later archived on September 30, 2013. Additional details were available through Grants.gov, and the point of contact listed for access issues was Leona B. Parker, Grants Management Officer, at 530-252-5338 and lparker@blm.gov.
