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

·         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.
