• Concentrations of rock (rock pavements, hearths, firepits, walls) <br /> • Wooden posts that are not associated with the former mill (i.e. house posts, food drying <br /> racks). These are typically not treated with creosote. <br /> • Basketry or fiber objects (cedar twine ropes, woven mats, cedar twine fishing nets) <br /> • Clusters of varying objects: cans, bottles, ceramic dishware, bricks, or other historic <br /> debris (in order for these clusters to require notification of the Project Archaeologist they ' <br /> must represent multiple artifacts, not one or two artifacts broken into many fragments) <br /> • Residential or industrial structural remains, such as historic building foundations or <br /> privies/outhouse pits <br /> 2. In the event that human remains are encountered: <br /> The following outlines the procedures to be followed in the event that human remains are ' <br /> discovered; the procedures conform to the requirements of RCW 27.44.055. If any member of <br /> the project team discovers or suspects human remains, all work adjacent to the discovery shall <br /> cease immediately. A 50-foot work stoppage buffer area shall be established around the <br /> discovery. Vehicles, equipment, and unauthorized personnel shall not be permitted to traverse <br /> or enter the discovery site. Any spoils, including dump trucks containing spoils, shall remain on <br /> site. <br /> The City Project Manager will be contacted by the Contractor or Subcontractor responsible for <br /> the discovery without delay, and the City Project Manager will then notify the Snohomish County I <br /> Medical Examiner and Everett Police Department via the non-emergency telephone number <br /> immediately. No persons other than the proper law enforcement personnel, professional <br /> archaeologists, and Washington State Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation <br /> (DAHP) staff shall be authorized direct access to the discovery location after the area is <br /> secured. <br /> If human remains are suspected or confirmed, the Contractor should contact the City Project i <br /> Manager. Once the City Project Manager has contacted the police, they will contact the Project <br /> Archaeologist to perform a site visit. The Medical Examiner will assume jurisdiction over the <br /> human skeletal remains and make a determination as to whether those remains are forensic <br /> (i.e. part of a crime scene) or non-forensic. <br /> If the remains are forensic, the Medical Examiner will determine appropriate procedures for their <br /> disposition. if the remains are non-forensic, the State Physical Anthropologist (at DAHP) will <br /> assume jurisdiction over the remains and will contact appropriate Tribes and cemeteries. The <br /> State Physical Anthropologist will make a determination as to whether the remains are Indian or <br /> Non-Indian and report that finding to appropriate Tribes and cemeteries. DAHP will handle all <br /> consultation with the affected parties as to the future preservation, excavation, and disposition <br /> of the remains. <br /> Construction excavations may continue outside the work stoppage area. <br /> Attachments: ' <br /> 1.
