<br />the defined identification goals the
<br />historic context(s); then the goals are
<br />adjusted accordingly. In addition, the
<br />historic context narrative. the definition
<br />of property types and the planning goals
<br />for evaluation and treatment are all
<br />adjusted as necessary to accommodate
<br />the new data.
<br />Reporting Identification Results
<br />Reporting of the results of
<br />identification activities should begin
<br />with the statement of objectives
<br />prepared before undertaking the survey.
<br />The report should respond to each of the
<br />major points documenting:
<br />1. Objectives;
<br />2. Area researched or surveyed;
<br />3. Research design or statement of
<br />objectives;
<br />4. Methods used. including the
<br />intensity of coverage. If the methods
<br />differ from those outlined in the
<br />statement of objectives, the reasons
<br />should be explained.
<br />5. Results: how the results met the
<br />objectives; result analysis, implications
<br />and recommedations; where the
<br />compiled information is located.
<br />A summary of the survey results
<br />should be available for examination and
<br />distribution. Identified properties should
<br />then be evaluated for possible inclusion
<br />in appropriate inventories.
<br />Protection of information about
<br />archeological sites or other properties
<br />that may be threatened by
<br />dissemination of that information is
<br />necessary. These may include fragile
<br />archeological properties or properties
<br />such as religious sites, stroctures, or
<br />objects, whose cultural value would be
<br />compromised by public knowledge of
<br />the property's location.

<br />Secretary of the Interior's Standards for
<br />Evaluation
<br />Evaluation is the process of
<br />determining whether identified
<br />properties meet defined criteria of
<br />significance slid therefore should be
<br />included in an inventory of historic
<br />properties determined to meet the
<br />criteria. The criteria employed vary
<br />depending on the inventory's use in
<br />resource management.
<br />Standard L Evaluation of the
<br />Significance of Historic Properties Uses
<br />Established Criteria
<br />The evaluation of historic properties
<br />employs criteria to determine which
<br />properties are significant. Criteria
<br />should therefore focus on historical,
<br />architectural, archeological, engineering
<br />and cultural values, rather than on
<br />treatments. A statement of the minimum
<br />information necessary to evaluate
<br />properties against the criteria should be
<br />provided to direct information gathering
<br />activities.
<br />Because the National Register of
<br />1 fistoric Places is a major focus of
<br />preservation activities air the Federal.
<br />State and local levels, the National
<br />Register criteria have been widely
<br />adopted not only as required for Federal
<br />purposes, but for State and local
<br />inventories as well. The National
<br />Historic Landmark criteria and other
<br />criteria used for inclusion of properties
<br />in State historic site files are other -
<br />examples of criteria with different
<br />management purposes.
<br />Standard 11. Evaluation of Significance
<br />Applies the Criteria Within I /istoric
<br />Contexts
<br />Properties are evaluated wing a
<br />historic context that identifies the
<br />significant patterns that properties
<br />represent and defines expected property
<br />types against which individual
<br />properties may be compared. Within
<br />this comparative framework, the criteria
<br />for evaluation take on particular
<br />meaning with regard to individual
<br />properties.
<br />Standard 111. Evaluation Results in A
<br />List or Inventory of Significant
<br />Properties That Is Consulted In
<br />Assjgning Registration and Treatment
<br />Priorities
<br />The evaluation process and the
<br />subsequent development of an inventor}
<br />of significant properties is an on -going
<br />activity. Evaluation of the significance
<br />of a property should be completed
<br />before registration is considered and
<br />before preservation treatments are
<br />selected. The inventory entries should
<br />contain sufficient information for
<br />subsequent activities such as
<br />registration or treatment of properties,
<br />including on evaluation statement that
<br />makes clear the significance of the
<br />property within one or more historic
<br />contexts.
