Opportunity Summary:
The Paleosol and Geo Archaeological Investigations KRNCA opportunity is a Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM) grant offered through the Arcata Field Office to support geoarchaeological fieldwork along Californias Lost Coast within the King Range National Conservation Area. The central purpose is to find and document ancient coastal landforms, specifically marine terraces from the Late Pleistocene to Early Holocene, because these stable landscape surfaces can preserve very early human (Paleoindian) cultural materials in place. In practical terms, the project is designed to identify terrace remnants that are still intact, map their extent and condition, and build a defensible age framework for them so managers and researchers can better understand where Paleoindian sites might exist and how the coastline and environments changed through time.
The work described emphasizes a combination of geomorphology, soils science, and archaeological resource screening. Applicants would be expected to locate terrace surfaces in the field, record them systematically, and produce maps and spatial data products (notably GPS-based maps) showing terrace boundaries, elevations, and key observation points. Because the opportunity is specifically framed as paleosol and geoarchaeological investigations, a major deliverable is detailed description of the soils that have developed on these terraces, including the characteristics of paleosols that can indicate long-term stability and potential for buried cultural horizons. The announcement also calls for discussion of soil dating techniques and resulting age estimates, meaning the project should explain and apply appropriate methods to determine how old the terrace surfaces and associated soil profiles are, and then summarize the interpreted soil or surface ages based on the collected evidence.
From an outcomes standpoint, the BLM appears to be seeking a set of products that improve cultural resource management and research targeting in the King Range NCA. By confirming which terrace surfaces are both intact and old enough, and by tying those surfaces to dated soil development or other chronological controls, the project can highlight areas with higher likelihood of preserving in situ Paleoindian deposits. This kind of information is useful for prioritizing surveys, guiding future investigations, and informing stewardship decisions in a coastal setting where erosion, landslides, vegetation, and access constraints can complicate archaeological work.
Administratively, this was posted January 8, 2010 under Funding Opportunity Number BLM CA NOI 10 2001, with an original and final closing date of January 28, 2010, and an archive date of February 5, 2010. It is a discretionary opportunity using a cooperative agreement instrument, categorized under Natural Resources, and tied to CFDA 15.224 Cultural Resource Management. The program anticipated a single award, with estimated total funding of $100,000 and an award ceiling of $100,000 (award floor listed as $1,000). No cost sharing or matching requirement was stated. Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status that are not institutions of higher education (the listing repeats this eligibility requirement). The announcement directed applicants to Grants.gov for full details, and provided a contact for access issues: Leona B. Parker at lparker@blm.gov.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs): Paleosol and Geo Archaeological Investigations KRNCA
What is the Paleosol and Geo Archaeological Investigations KRNCA opportunity?
This is a Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM) grant opportunity offered through the Arcata Field Office to support paleosol and geoarchaeological fieldwork along California's Lost Coast within the King Range National Conservation Area (KRNCA).
What is the main purpose of this grant?
The central purpose is to find and document ancient coastal landforms, especially marine terraces dating from the Late Pleistocene to Early Holocene. These stable surfaces can preserve very early human (Paleoindian) cultural materials in place, so identifying and dating intact terrace remnants helps target where Paleoindian sites might exist and how environments changed through time.
Where will the work take place?
The project is focused on California's Lost Coast within the King Range National Conservation Area and is associated with the BLM Arcata Field Office.
What types of landforms are being targeted?
The opportunity specifically targets ancient coastal landforms, with an emphasis on marine terraces from the Late Pleistocene through the Early Holocene.
Why are marine terraces important to the project?
Marine terraces are stable landscape surfaces that can preserve early archaeological materials in place. By confirming which terraces are intact and old enough, the resulting information can help identify areas with higher potential for in situ Paleoindian deposits.
What kinds of work are applicants expected to perform?
The work described emphasizes a combination of geomorphology, soils science, and archaeological resource screening. Applicants would be expected to locate terrace surfaces in the field, record them systematically, and document their extent, condition, and setting.
What mapping and spatial data products are expected?
The opportunity calls for maps and spatial data products, notably GPS-based maps, showing terrace boundaries, elevations, and key observation points.
What is meant by "paleosol" work in this opportunity?
A major deliverable is detailed description of soils that have developed on the terrace surfaces, including paleosol characteristics that indicate long-term stability and the potential for buried cultural horizons.
Does the project require soil dating or age estimation?
Yes. The announcement calls for discussion of soil dating techniques and resulting age estimates. The project is expected to explain and apply appropriate methods to determine how old the terrace surfaces and associated soil profiles are, and then summarize interpreted soil or surface ages based on the evidence collected.
What are the intended outcomes for BLM?
BLM appears to be seeking products that improve cultural resource management and research targeting in the King Range NCA. The results can support prioritizing surveys, guiding future investigations, and informing stewardship decisions in a coastal setting where erosion, landslides, vegetation, and access constraints can complicate archaeological work.
How will the results be used in cultural resource management?
By identifying intact terrace remnants, mapping their extent and condition, and building a defensible age framework, the project can highlight areas more likely to preserve in situ Paleoindian deposits. This can help managers and researchers focus future survey and investigation efforts.
