Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) posted a discretionary funding opportunity titled "BLM CA King Range Geo Archaeological Investigations CESU Arcata Field Office" (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00188) to support geoarchaeological work in Californias King Range National Conservation Area along the Lost Coast. The core goal of the project is to find and study paleosols, which are ancient, buried, or relict soil surfaces that can preserve evidence of past landscapes, environmental conditions, and potentially human activity. The work is framed as an investigation of where these paleosols still remain, how to identify them confidently in the field, and how to document and analyze them so they can be used to reconstruct aspects of the regions geologic and cultural history.
The funded work is expected to focus on field identification and documentation of paleosol exposures and soil profiles. Once potential paleosols are located, the project calls for recording detailed soil profiles and collecting soil samples for laboratory analysis. A key element is the extraction of organic material from collected samples so that the materials can be dated using radiometric and related chemical laboratory methods. In practice, that implies building a timeline for when particular soil surfaces formed or were buried, which helps establish the ages of landscape events (such as erosion, deposition, or coastal terrace formation) and can also provide time context for any archaeological resources associated with those surfaces.
This opportunity was offered as a cooperative agreement under the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) program, a partnership framework intended to connect federal land managers with research, technical expertise, and educational capacity. The funding activity category is listed as Natural Resources, and the CFDA number provided is 15.224 (Cultural Resource Management), which signals that the work is closely tied to cultural and heritage resource objectives even though the methods are primarily geologic and soil-science based. The listing indicates one expected award, with an estimated total funding amount of $100,000. The award ceiling is $100,000 and the award floor is $500, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), with the caveat that CESU-related terms may apply as clarified in the full announcement. The posting date and creation date were July 15, 2010, with an original and current closing date of August 5, 2010, and an archive date of August 20, 2010. The announcement directs applicants to Grants.gov for full details, and provides a point of contact for assistance accessing the full announcement: Leona B. Parker, Grants Management Officer, reachable at 530-252-5338 and lparker@blm.gov.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the title of this funding opportunity?
The opportunity is titled "BLM CA King Range Geo Archaeological Investigations CESU Arcata Field Office."
What is the Funding Opportunity Number?
The Funding Opportunity Number is L10AS00188.
Which federal agency is offering this opportunity?
The opportunity was posted by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM).
Where is the project located?
The work is focused in California's King Range National Conservation Area along the Lost Coast.
What is the main purpose or goal of the project?
The core goal is to find and study paleosols (ancient, buried, or relict soil surfaces) that can preserve evidence of past landscapes, environmental conditions, and potentially human activity, so they can be used to reconstruct aspects of the region's geologic and cultural history.
What are paleosols in the context of this announcement?
Paleosols are ancient, buried, or relict soil surfaces. In this project, they are important because they may preserve evidence of older landscapes and environmental conditions and can potentially be associated with human activity.
What kinds of activities does the funded work emphasize?
The funded work is expected to emphasize field identification and documentation of paleosol exposures and soil profiles, followed by detailed recording of soil profiles and collection of soil samples for laboratory analysis.
What fieldwork is expected under this opportunity?
Expected fieldwork includes locating potential paleosols, identifying them confidently in the field, documenting paleosol exposures, and recording detailed soil profiles.
Are laboratory analyses part of the proposed work?
Yes. Once samples are collected, the project calls for laboratory analysis, including extracting organic material from samples so materials can be dated using radiometric and related chemical methods.
Why does the project involve extracting organic material and radiometric dating?
The project uses organic material extraction and radiometric (and related chemical) laboratory methods to date the materials and build a timeline for when soil surfaces formed or were buried. This helps establish the ages of landscape events (such as erosion, deposition, or coastal terrace formation) and provides time context for any archaeological resources associated with those surfaces.
What kinds of questions is the project trying to answer about paleosols?
The investigation is framed around where paleosols still remain, how to identify them confidently in the field, and how to document and analyze them so they can be used to reconstruct geologic and cultural history.
What award mechanism is being used (grant, cooperative agreement, etc.)?
This opportunity was offered as a cooperative agreement.
What program framework is associated with this cooperative agreement?
The opportunity is under the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) program, which is a partnership framework intended to connect federal land managers with research, technical expertise, and educational capacity.
What is the funding activity category listed for this opportunity?
The funding activity category is listed as Natural Resources.
What CFDA number is associated with the opportunity, and what does it indicate?
The CFDA number listed is 15.224 (Cultural Resource Management). This signals the work is closely tied to cultural and heritage resource objectives, even though the methods are primarily geologic and soil-science based.
