Commander in Chief, U.S. Navy Pacific Fleet Archaeological Collections Management Program: A Regional Approach

Between the spring of 1998 and the winter of 2000 personnel from the U.S. Army Engineer District, St. Louis conducted curation needs assessments and identified potential curation partners for U.S. Navy, Commander in Chief, Pacific Fleet facilities in six Navy regions: Naval Forces, Japan; Naval Forces, Korea; Naval Forces, Marianas (Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands and Guam); Navy Region, Hawaii; Navy Region, Northwest (Washington); and Navy Region, Southwest (California). Approximately 2,345.78 ft3 of artifacts, 112.22 ft3 of human skeletal remains, and 307.41 linear feet of associated documentation from archaeological projects conducted on these facilities were examined during the course of the fieldwork. This research was sponsored by the U.S. Navy, Commander in Chief, Pacific Fleet, through the Pacific Division, Naval Facilities Engineering Command.
