Artifact Report, Barbour County Arbitrary (Multiple) 1968-1979 and N.D. Investigations

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Mobile District archaeological collections were sent to the Veterans Curation Program (VCP) Augusta, Georgia laboratory in the fall of 2009. The Augusta VCP laboratory is a USACE, St. Louis District’s Mandatory Center of Expertise for the Curation and Management of Archaeological Collections project, which is staffed through Brockington and Associates, an archaeological contract firm located in Norcross, Georgia. After 22 September 2011, the collection was transferred to the Charleston, SC branch of Brockington and Associates and processing was completed by Laboratory Technician Anna Green and Laboratory Supervisor Blair Stec. The procedures employed by the Augusta VCP and Brockington and Associates laboratories to re-house the archaeological material from the Barbour County Arbitrary (Multiple) 1968-1979 and N.D. Investigations are discussed below. In the re-housing process of each investigative effort of the USACE, Mobile District collection, the same standard procedures, including University of Georgia (UGA), Laboratory of Archaeology, Athens, Georgia guidelines, were followed. Upon completion of the curation management project, the collection will be sent to the UGA Laboratory of Archaeology for permanent curation. Additional information regarding these collections can be found in the Barbour County Arbitrary (Multiple) 1968-1979 and N.D. archives collection, which is currently housed at the UGA Laboratory of Archaeology in Athens, Georgia.

美国陆军工程兵团（U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, USACE）莫比尔分区的考古藏品于2009年秋季被移送至佐治亚州奥古斯塔的退伍军人典藏项目（Veterans Curation Program, VCP）实验室。该奥古斯塔VCP实验室实为美国陆军工程兵团圣路易斯分区设立的考古藏品管理与典藏指定专家中心项目，由坐落于佐治亚州诺克罗斯的考古承包企业Brockington and Associates负责运营。2011年9月22日之后，该批藏品被转移至Brockington and Associates位于南卡罗来纳州查尔斯顿的分支机构，后续整理工作由实验室技术员安娜·格林（Anna Green）与实验室主管布莱尔·斯特克（Blair Stec）完成。

下文将详述奥古斯塔VCP实验室与Brockington and Associates两家实验室，针对巴伯县任意发掘（复合）1968-1979年考古调查及北达科他州考古调查出土的考古材料进行重新典藏封装的流程。在对美国陆军工程兵团莫比尔分区藏品的每一项调查项目开展重新典藏封装工作时，均严格遵循统一标准流程，其中包括佐治亚大学（University of Georgia, UGA）雅典分校考古实验室的相关规范。该典藏管理项目完成后，这批藏品将被移交至佐治亚大学考古实验室进行永久典藏。有关这批藏品的更多详细信息，可查阅《巴伯县任意发掘（复合）1968-1979年考古调查及北达科他州考古调查档案集》，该档案目前存放于佐治亚州雅典的佐治亚大学考古实验室。
