The objective of this agreement is to conduct archeological survey and cultural resource inventory to establish the prehistory of the Chignik-Meshik Rivers region.

This agreement is specific to Year four (4), and follows a research design developed by UAMN in Year one (1), and modified by recommendations from the Year one (1) field-report, the Year two (2) field report, and the Year three (3) field report. This modification provides for the project completion by summarizing three years of field research, providing complete analysis of collections and all cultural resource data, reporting and presentation to stake-holders including public and professional audiences. The partner, in cooperation with the National Park Service will: 1. Identify, hire, or maintain appropriate staff for Year four of the project. 2.
