The Archaeologist serves as an archeology advisor working under the direction of the Cultural Resources Program Manager at the Valles Caldera National Preserve, Jemez Springs, New Mexico. The purpose of this position is to serve as an archaeology advisor for the park, to coordinate all National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), Section 106, compliance activities at the park, and as time permits to support the management of the museum collection. This position is part of the Cultural Resource Program in the Division of Science and Resource Stewardship. The incumbent ensures that NPS and professionally recognized procedures are applied in conduction through Section 106 review for park projects potentially affecting archeological resources. Incumbent is responsible for and/or makes significant contributions to the preparation of historic documentation as required by Section 106 and Section 110 of NHPA, and the Native American Graves Repatriation Act (NAGPRA). The archaeologist provides advice on identification and management of archaeological and other historic cultural resources, including development of immediate objectives, integration of resource activities, and establishment of priorities. The Archaeologist plans and executes a program of archeological surveys and inventories in relation to various projects, and prepares reports, maps, inventories and records related to discovery, protection, inventory or salvage and interpretation of archeological resources. Finally, the Archaeologist works with the NPS compliance management database – Planning, Environment and Public Comment (PEPC) – to manage and maintain the park’s Section 106 process.
