 Design Guidelines for Department of Defense Historic Buildings and Districts. Prepared for the Legacy Resource Management Program, Project 07-382, by Heather McDonald (ORISE) and Michelle Michael (CEMML/CSU), August 2008.
CEMML is pleased to offer on our website a recent product co-authored by one of our former employees at Fort Bragg, NC, Ms. Michelle Michael. Legacy Project 07-382, Design Guidelines for Department of Defense Historic Buildings and District, was created to assist the Department of Defense (DOD) with its Cultural Resources stewardship. In compliance with the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (NHPA), DoD is required to consider the effect of its actions on historic buildings and districts within its holdings. NHPA is codified in Federal Regulations under 36 CFR 800. Design Guidelines for Department of Defense Historic Buildings and District (hereafter Guidelines) is designed to assist everyone at the installation level and beyond who has dealings with historic buildings. The Guidelines are not meant to replace the role of the architectural historian or historic architect. Having trained and experienced professionals on the installations is the best means of communicating with all of the parties involved and protecting our historic properties. The Guidelines are also not meant to replace guidance from the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). However, Guidelines will assist people who work on installations, but who are not trained in historic architecture by providing a better understanding of why it is important to preserve valuable cultural resources, what the resources are, the vocabulary that describes the resources, and how to interpret the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards to appropriately manage these resources.

Annotated Bibliography: Distant Early Warning System, Alaska. Prepared for the United States Air Force, 611th Air Support Group, Elmendorf Air Force Base, Alaska by Tania R. Metcalf, September 2008.
The Distant Early Warning (DEW) Line was an integrated chain of early warning radar and communication stations constructed between 1953 and 1957 from northwestern Alaska across northern Canada. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, the system was extended west, across the Alaska Peninsula and the Aleutian Islands, and east, across southern Greenland. The mission of the DEW System was to provide early radar warning of possible airborne attacks against the United States and Canada by the Soviet Union. The DEW System remained in use throughout the mid to late 1980s. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, it was replaced with the North Warning System (NWS). The focus of the annotated bibliography was the Alaska section of the DEW Line, but information concerning the Canadian and/or Greenland portions of the line was included when located. In addition to the annotated bibliography, the document provides a brief historic overview of the DEW System and several indices including a Medium Index, Repository Index, Site Index, Subject Index, and Photograph Index.

CULTURAL
HERITAGE TRAINING websites for IRAQ and AFGHANISTAN
CEMML is pleased to announce that it is now hosting on its
parent website the CULTURAL HERITAGE TRAINING websites for IRAQ
and AFGHANISTAN sponsored by the Department of Defense’s
Legacy Resource Management Program. These training websites
were developed as part of a Legacy project awarded to Dr. Laurie
Rush, Cultural Resources Program Manager at Fort Drum, NY, to
increase soldier awareness of cultural heritage protection issues
in those countries, especially in light of the U.S. Senate’s
recent ratification of the 1954 Hague Convention for the Protection
of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict. Each website
begins with a series of 10 Do’s and Don’ts for military
personnel and DoD civilians to consider, followed by five basic
topics for in-depth study:
- Cultural property protection: Doctrine, theory, and application;
- Details on history, culture, archaeology, cultural property
issues, and the effect of war on those properties for each
of the two countries in question;
- A summary of legal mechanisms for cultural property protection;
- A summary of enforcement procedures; and
- A guide to additional resources on the topic.
The two websites can be accessed through the links provided
below:

Paleo
Indian Archaeology and Late Pleistocene/Early Holocene Shorelines
on DOD Installations web site.
This web site is part of a project at Fort Drum,
New York, sponsored by the DOD's Legacy Resource Management
Program. Based on recently documented archaeological evidence
for ancient boat building activity at the Pleistocene-Holocene
boundary, both at Fort Drum, New York, and at San Clemente Island,
California, the web site is aimed at disseminating this evidence
to the widest possible audience in the hope of generating similar
studies at other DOD installations, as well as non-DOD localities,
throughout the United States.

Shovel Test Pit Applications
This application was updated on 9/19/2000. See
below for information on the bug fix.
CEMML is pleased to announce the development of a software
product for archaeological data recording now available for
free download. The product electronically integrates archaeological
survey data from shovel test pits (STPs) into the installation's
Geographic Information System (GIS). It was created by Jim Rapant,
CEMML Research Associate and GIS Analyst with the GIS component
of the ITAM Program and Environmental Division at Fort Drum,
NY, in partnership with Dr. Laurie W. Rush, CEMML Research Associate
and Cultural Resource Program Coordinator, Fort Drum, NY. Three
applications were developed to allow Cultural Resources personnel
to electronically store STP survey data and relate these data
to curated artifacts and survey locations stored in a GIS. The
STP database application (MS Access 7.0), STP
point generator (Arc/Info AML script), and STP
labeler (ArcView 3.1 extension) are available with
documentation in a self extracting Zip file entitled STP_Apps.exe.
CEMML would like to thank Paul G. Zang, Acting Chief, Natural
and Cultural Resources Branch, Environmental Division, Directorate
of Public Works, Fort Drum, NY, for permission to distribute
this software.
Abstract on the fixed bug:
Code that underlies the "Append" button "Click"
event in the "NEW ARTIFACT ENTRIES" form has a variable
named "Yr" with an incorrect data type. The code
has been changed from "Yr As Integer" to "Yr
As String." Left unchanged, the form will stop with an
error message when accessing years
ending with "00" to "09."
To help users identify instances of the STP database that
require replacing, the font color of Append button in the
"NEW ARTIFACT ENTRIES" form has been changed from
black to blue.
