This NCHRP synthesis report focuses on practices that improve the cost, timeliness, and public benefit of archaeological investigations, in addition to those that streamline the overall transportation project delivery process and enhance the stewardship of archaeological resources. Information on these effective practices was obtained through a literature search and a survey of a variety of agencies and organizations. The survey involved state departments of transportation (DOTs), FHWA state division offices, state historic preservation offices (SHPOs), Native American tribes, and cultural resource management firms. Thirtyfour state DOTs, five FHWA offices, seven SHPOs, six tribes, and five cultural resource management firms responded to the survey.
