ARCHAEOLOGICAL EXPERIENCE

Archaeological Survey

I have conducted archaeological surveys for private cultural resource management (CRM) companies and academic institutions.

While employed in the field of CRM, I worked on corridor, block, and well pad surveys, in Nevada, New Mexico, Massachusetts,

Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas and Virginia. While affiliated with Southern Methodist University, I conducted block surveys

in Texas, New Mexico, and Colorado, in an attempt to identify the presence of Paleoindian sites. I also conducted surveys in

Yemen, recording Paleolithic sites across the southeast provinces. (Note: see Professional Experience below for employers

and dates of employment)

Archaeological Excavation

I have conducted archaeological excavations for private CRM companies and academic institutions. While employed in the CRM

field, I conducted Phase II test excavations in East Texas for a Department of Transportation highway expansion; I spent several

months conducting Phase III excavations of early Pueblo agave roasting pits and activity areas in southern New Mexico and

Texas; I conducted Phase III excavations at an historic site in southern New Mexico; and I conducted Phase III excavations at

an early Woodlands site in southeast Rhode Island. While with academic institutions, I conducted excavations at early historic

sites in Massachusetts and Delaware; I spent summer seasons excavating at early Paleoindian sites in West Texas, New Mexico,

and Colorado. (Note: see Professional Experience below for employers and dates of employment)

Technical Expertise

I am experienced in the use of digital and 35 mm camera, EDM total station, and global positioning system (GPS) operations, in

addition to pace and compass methods for mapping and recording archaeological sites and have utilized these skills in the last

year to fully record archaeological sites. I am proficient in database and spreadsheet systems, such as Microsoft Excel and

Liv Kristina Fetterman

Access. I am familiar with the New Mexico Cultural Resource Information System, a system of New Mexico Archaeological

Records Management Section, conducting records searches for New Mexico s archaeological sites. Further, I am proficient in

editing archaeological reports, having been trained in and applied these skills for a private CRM firm. I received training in

Remote Sensing and geographic information systems (GIS) at Boston University.

Survey and Monitor Training Experience

While employed by the Archaeological Resource Investigations (ARI) division of Western Cultural Resource Management, Inc., I

was given sole responsibility for and succeeded in organizing and presenting two Cultural Resource Survey and Monitor classes

for the Cultural Preservation Office of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe of South Dakota that were attended by members of

several tribes. The goal of the first class was to provide classroom based training for tribal members who will serve as cultural

resource surveyors and monitors for surface disturbance projects on tribal lands. In addition to dealing with cultural resource

survey and monitoring procedures, it also included training on federal, state and tribal laws protecting cultural resources,

including the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) and Section 106 of this act, as well as training on general

archaeological procedures. (The statutory section of this class was taught by Dr. Thomas F. King, a national expert on NHPA

issues.) The second class dealt with field methods for use by the cultural resource surveyors and monitors; it provided them with

the field training necessary to complete their full certification to serve in these capacities, including mapping skills, such as how

best to survey an area using a map, use of a GPS to map and record sites, as well as artifact, feature, and site types and

identification. The student evaluations likened these courses to graduate level courses and many of the students currently utilize

the skills they learned from these classes on a day to day basis.

ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESOURCE PROTECTION EXPERIENCE

While employed by ARI, I worked closely with Archaeological Resources Protection Act and archaeological damage assessment

expert Martin McAllister, M.A., RPA, on a number of projects, including a major civil litigation case in California (People of the

State of California, et al. v. Trilogy Vineyards LLC, et al.). This consulting project was being carried out by ARI for the Attorney

General s Office (AGO) of the State of California Department of Justice, and Mr. McAllister and I will continue to work on this

case in late spring, 2010. The case involves unauthorized damage to two archaeological sites on California State Parks lands.

The AGO initially contracted with ARI to prepare value and cost determinations for the severity of this damage based on the

model established by the federal Archaeological Resources Protection Act. The project will involve preparation of a formal

archaeological damage assessment report, participation in the pre-trial process and expert witness testimony on the archaeological

damage assessment carried out by Mr. McAllister and me. I conducted an initial review of all documentation on the sites and the

damage to them provided to us by the AGO in order to identify the components of this documentation that we needed to be

familiar with in order to effectively develop the value and cost determinations. I then worked with Mr. McAllister on preparation

of the archaeological value and cost of restoration and repair determinations that were submitted to the AGO for their review.

In September of 2009, I also participated with Mr. McAllister in an important meeting with AGO Deputy Attorney Generals in

which the value and cost determination findings were explained to them. Throughout this process, my knowledge of both

archaeology and the law were of substantial assistance to Mr. McAllister in the completion of the first phase of the damage

assessment project for the AGO.

While employed at ARI, I worked with Mr. McAllister on the organization and presentation of five ARI classes on archaeological

resource protection, three dealing with archaeological law enforcement and two dealing with archaeological damage assessment.

In addition to participating in organizing and presenting these classes, I received training in archaeological law enforcement and

archaeological damage assessment by attending the classes. I also served as one of the instructors in two of the archaeological

law enforcement classes. During preparations for an offering of the archaeological damage assessment class that was taught for

California State Parks, I provided particular assistance to Mr. McAllister by conducting in depth legal research on California state

laws and regulations that protect archaeological resources
