Description

As of April 30, 2014, the Historic Resources Management Branch (HRMB) requires spatial data submissions for all permits. The collection of these datasets will enable HRMB staff, consulting archaeologists, and researchers to better understand survey coverage completed for a given parcel of land. The data will be stored in a master database at the Archaeological Survey of Alberta and will be made available to individuals who have confidentiality and online service agreements with the Survey. Two datasets will be required: Project Areas and Subsurface Inspections. This document provides specifications for these datasets. Geodatabase and shapefile template datasets are available on the Archaeological Survey webpage (see link at the end of this document). All submissions should be based on these templates.
