Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) offered a discretionary cooperative agreement opportunity titled "BLM OR/WA Northern Great Basin Textile Project Radiocarbon Dating, Lakeview District, Oregon" (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00276) to support radiocarbon dating work on archaeologically significant materials from the Northern Great Basin region, specifically associated with BLM's Lakeview District in Oregon. The central purpose of the project was to generate reliable chronological information by obtaining radiocarbon dates for important cultural materials, with an emphasis suggested by the title on textiles or textile-related artifacts.
The opportunity was positioned within the Natural Resources funding activity category and carried a CFDA listing of 15.224, Cultural Resource Management, reflecting its focus on cultural and archaeological resource stewardship on public lands. Although the technical task is scientific dating, the grant's broader intent was interpretive and cultural: the dated results were expected to strengthen research conclusions and improve understanding of the materials' age, use, and historical context.
BLM described several intended uses for the information produced through the project. The radiocarbon results were to be used for formal research and analysis, public interpretation of the materials, and the development of educational museum displays. The agency also anticipated the dates would contribute directly to written products such as reports, articles, and books, indicating that the project was meant to produce publishable and publicly shareable outcomes rather than results kept solely for internal files. A particularly important stated application was support for cases under the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), where determining tribal affiliation can depend on establishing time periods and cultural relationships; radiocarbon dating can be one line of evidence that helps clarify those affiliations in repatriation and consultation contexts.
The total estimated funding for the opportunity was $30,000, with an award ceiling of $30,000 and an award floor of $1, and BLM expected to make one award. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which generally means applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds to be eligible or competitive. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning the competition was open to a wide range of applicant types, subject to any specific clarifications that might have been included in the full announcement.
Key timeline details show the announcement was posted and created on August 13, 2010, with an original and current closing date of September 2, 2010. The opportunity was archived on August 13, 2011, which signals it was a time-limited competition that is no longer open. For access and questions, BLM provided a grants management contact: Walter Ullrey, Grants Management Specialist, reachable at 503-808-6203 and wullrey@blm.gov, with direction to contact him if there were problems accessing the full announcement electronically.
In practical terms, this grant supported the kind of specialized work required to responsibly date archaeological materials: coordinating sampling, selecting appropriate specimens, submitting samples to qualified radiocarbon laboratories, and ensuring that results are documented in a way that is usable for scientific interpretation, public education, and legal or administrative processes like NAGPRA. The emphasis on interpretation, museum displays, publications, and affiliation determinations highlights that BLM viewed the radiocarbon dates not as an end in themselves, but as foundational data meant to improve public understanding and inform culturally sensitive decision-making about heritage materials.
