FINAL Phase IB Underwater Archaeological Resources Report for Onondaga Lake Superfund Site EVALUATION OF NATIONAL REGISTER ELIGIBILITY A key component of this archaeological study is the evaluation of each archaeological site’s significance in relation to its eligibility for the National Register of Historic Places. The NRHP is the official list of the Nation's historic places worthy of preservation. The National Park Service provides guidelines for assessing a historic property’s NRHP eligibility. A site is recommended as NRHP eligible if it is more than 50 years old, possesses integrity and meets one or more of the criteria considerations. Integrity is the ability of a property to convey its significance. An evaluation of a property’s integrity is assessed based on an analysis of the seven aspects or qualities that define integrity. These concepts are: Location is the place where the historic property was constructed or the place where the historic event occurred. Design is the combination of elements that create the form, plan, space, structure, and style of a property. Setting is the physical environment of a historic property. Material are the physical elements that were combined or deposited during a particular periods of time and in a particular pattern or configuration to form a historic property. Workmanship is the physical evidence of the crafts of a particular culture or people during any given period in history or prehistory. Feeling is a property’s expression of the aesthetic or historic sense of a particular period of time. Association is the direct link between an important historic event or person and a historic property. 116 In addition to having integrity, a property must also meet at least one of the NRHP’s criteria considerations. The criteria include: A. Sites that are associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history; or B. that are associated with the lives of persons significant in our past; or C. that embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction, or that represent the work of a master, or that possess high artistic value, or that represent a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction; or D. that have yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory or history. 117 The National Park Service has produced numerous bulletins designed to provide technical information on the survey, evaluation, registration and preservation of cultural properties as it pertains to the NRHP. The bulletins used in the evaluation of Onondaga Lake’s submerged cultural properties include: How to Apply the National Register Criteria for Evaluation, 118 Guidelines for Evaluation and Registering Archeological Properties, 119 Guidelines for Evaluating and Documenting Historic Aids to Navigation, 120 Nominating Historic Vessels and Shipwrecks to the National Register of Historic Places, 121 and Guidelines for Evaluating and Registering Historical Archaeological Sites and Districts. 122 47
FINAL Phase IB Underwater Archaeological Resources Report for Onondaga Lake Superfund Site In the Archaeological Results chapter, each anomaly identified as being cultural in nature and meeting the minimum 50 year threshold for potential NRHP eligibility is evaluated using the above referenced attributes of integrity and the criteria considerations. The following table is presented for each property to clearly illustrate the evaluation process.
