BLM Documentation of Experience Form Name:
Education, geographic experience and time of involvement in equivalent and relevant duties are key elements of qualification standards.
· Education is documented by listing the pertinent degrees, major, institution and year(s) of award:
· The experience cited must reflect the Nevada Cultural Resources Inventory Guidelines requirement for a minimum of 16 months of experience in similar and related duties to qualify as a Principal Investigator (PI, previously Project Director) or 12 months of experience in similar and related duties to qualify as a Crew Chief (CC, previously Field Supervisor). Minimum experience with prehistoric resources must be documented separately from that for historic period archaeological resources. The 16/12 month minimum may be accrued anywhere so long as the experience is similar and related to those of the proposed classification. However, within these time frames must be at least 4 months of experience in Great Basin geographic or culture areas.
· In evaluating an applicant's geographic experience qualifications for prehistoric archaeological resources, Nevada BLM utilizes the subareas identified by Jennings (1986:Figure 1; in Handbook of North American Indians, Vol. 11, Great Basin, edited by W. L. d'Azevedo, pp. 113-119, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C.) An individual's experience must be documented separately for each subarea in which qualification for work in the capacity of CC or PI is requested. Experience should be documented using the categories in Table 1. The duration should be summarized in work months. List as many projects as necessary to meet the minimum time requirement for each subarea.
Table 1. Prehistoric Archaeological Resources Geographic Experience
Project Name | Subarea (after Jennings 1986) | Similar/Related Duties (e.g., field, lab, report) | Employer/ Sponsor | Total (in work months) |
Great Basin Field Technician | ||||
Great Basin Crew Chief | ||||
Total Great Basin |
· In evaluating qualifications, Nevada BLM considers a person's geographic experience with historic period archaeological resources of the kinds found commonly in the Great Basin, such as western homesteads, industrial mining features and sites, mining habitation areas, irrigation systems, roads and rail systems and their related features, etc. Experience should be documented using the format in Table 2. The duration should be summarized in work months. List as many projects as necessary to meet the minimum time requirement.

Western | ||||
Great Basin Field Technician | ||||

The most important aspect of this list is that it is for one purpose only.: announcing jobs/non paying volunteer postings in the international CRM field at all levels; Field Tech, Professors, SHPO's, etc... Caveat Emptor though my friends. Not all jobs pay the same, nor is their treatment of employees the same - as the companies are checking your references, you should also check them out - make sure they pay fair wages, treat their employees professionally, and do quality work. If you have at least a BA you deserve fair remuneration, so ask for it, and in turn you provide your employer with excellent service. You ARE a trained professional, NOT a "shovelbum" - the name is in jest - act professional, expect to be treated like one.
