conclusion of tests or excavations. Information may be summarized in a
table.
(4)
Site map.
Include a scaled site map for each site with site boundaries, property
ownership boundaries, site datum, location of all collection units,
point-provenienced artifacts, hand excavation units, auger holes, shovel tests
and units excavated with mechanical earth-moving equipment.
(5)
Changes in the plan.
Identify departures from the approved monitoring plan. Explain substantial
differences between the work proposed and the work that was performed in the
field. Identify and explain any changes in proposed analysis
strategy.
(6)
Final report
schedule. Indicate the proposed date when the final report will be
submitted to the state agency if it differs from the schedule approved in the

Project description and
background. Provide a brief description of the project, identifying
project location, purpose of the monitoring, LA archaeological site record
numbers for the monitored sites, state agency, project sponsor, list of project
personnel, dates of fieldwork, and the state permit number.
(3)

new sites discovered and results of monitoring.
(5)
Analyses. Describe and
discuss analyses performed on material remains recovered from each site and the

showing the site location(s) shall be attached to each LA site form. Include
any other site-specific records generated, such as artifact analysis forms. If
coded analysis forms are attached, place a copy of the code key with every site
form.
(b)
Oversize maps and
plans. Attach oversize (greater than 11x17 inches) maps and plans of
individual sites to the report, not to the LA site record. Oversize project
