The Questions
• Can we learn more from cultural resources in oil and gas development areas?
• Could we have gained the same knowledge faster, better, cheaper? Could we have fed that information into management at more appropriate moments?
• Can the management process be more adaptive?

Project Tasks – New Mexico and Wyoming
• Data Development into GIS format
• Geomorphology and site visibility
• Planning Models of site densities
• Inventory Simulations (how could we have done it better?)
• Management Recommendations (how SHOULD do we do it in the future?)
![Page 5: Adaptive Management and Planning Models for Cultural Resources in Oil and Gas Fields Department of Energy Cooperative Agreement DE-FC26-02NT15445 PROJECT](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/5697bfd71a28abf838cae4a7/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Project Activities – New Mexico and Wyoming
• Create comprehensive digital data of existing cultural resource inventories and known sites
• Create landscape models to evaluate whether attributes and distribution of sites are predictable
• Evaluate if we could have gained knowledge more rapidly
• Examine how investigation and evaluation – in the context of management – can be better staged or timed more appropriately.

There is something wonderful about science. One gets such a wholesale return of speculation for such a trifling investment of fact.

Measuring “Knowledge”
• Scientific interests vary by region
Project team assessed what is considered “important” by professionals
• Using digitized data (much of which had to be digitized first!), we assessed when “knowledge” stopped accumulating from investigations.

Summary – Watching the Needle Example
• Site density revealed by inventory has not changed since mid-1980’s.– Inventory could have focused on
something else since then• Predictive models would have worked as well
in 1990 as they do now.– Again, information collection could have
focused on something different
![Page 18: Adaptive Management and Planning Models for Cultural Resources in Oil and Gas Fields Department of Energy Cooperative Agreement DE-FC26-02NT15445 PROJECT](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/5697bfd71a28abf838cae4a7/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Loco Hills Knowledge
– Focus on site density as a proxy for settlement
– Survey data insufficient for analysis of temporal or functional variability in Loco Hills
– Sensitivity maps closely track geomorphological units (coppice dunes high and parabolic dunes low)• Adaptation preferences or archeological
visibility?• Further survey will probably not help to
answer this.

Adapting Management in Loco Hills
• APE- Based inventory is no longer adding any meaningful knowledge in Loco Hills. Time to pool data recovery?
• Early large-area inventory might have revealed much the same knowledge in hand now at a far lower cost
• The mandate to protect the information value of cultural resources (Criterion D of the National Register) might better be achieved through shifting to data recovery sooner
• Effective GIS data systems can reduce siting, review, and inventory costs

Wyoming Accomplishments
• Digitization of northeastern Wyoming completed – includes GIS, PDF’s, and database.
• WYCRIS revisions and upgrade. Improved user web based mapping tools.
• CRISP makes appropriate archaeological information available to managers, oil and gas for planning and assessment
• CRMTracker (web-based collaborative project tracking) in place in Wyoming with BLM FOs, consultants, and SHPO

Demo of Industry Tool – “CRISP”
![Page 26: Adaptive Management and Planning Models for Cultural Resources in Oil and Gas Fields Department of Energy Cooperative Agreement DE-FC26-02NT15445 PROJECT](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/5697bfd71a28abf838cae4a7/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Wyoming -- Cost Benefit of Automation
Industry Cost Savings:
$81,168 + 46.75 years in project delay. Industry save approximately 1 FTE per year, which is conservatively $18,700 per year in salary + $4,271 in telecommunications + $3,161 in postage + 46 years “wait time”.
Land Managing Agencies (BLM only in this example)
$34,873 + 32.5 years in project delay.Annually BLM saves approximately .7 FTE per year, which is approximately $29,705 per year in salary + $2,970 in telecommunications + $2,198 in postage + 130 years “wait time”.
Wyoming SHPO
$101,493 + 133 years in project delay. Annually the WYSHPO saves approximately 2.85 FTE per year, which is approximately $88,918 per year in salary + $12,112 in telecommunications + $8,963 in postage + $1,500 in copy costs + 133 years “wait time”.

Pro/Con of of shared information systems:
Pros:
Resources are better managed by government
Decisions time is reduced and better justified
SHPOs are able to manage statewide information systems rather than supporting many local systems.
SHPO and agencies are able to meet NHPA mandate more effectively
Great benefits to indirect information users such as industry, planners,
and elected officials
Cons:
Personal contact and interaction can be reduced
Assumptions or exaggerations of the data can be made – “garbage in gospel out”

Outcomes of Project
• Full GIS and data systems (useful in themselves and a necessity for analysis)
• Figure out how to implement “learn more” strategies• May involve trade-offs in investigation strategies and staging
-- a BLM and SHPO discussion• Develop field tools -- manuals and etc., to implement
revised strategies.• Utilize, where possible and feasible, the geomorphology
buried site models, erosion field indicators, and field assessment tools developed by the geomorphology and geoarchaeology team
• Involve appropriate parties in the whole process.• Focus on knowledge, not just information
