The Guidelines for Archaeological Investigations in Virginia
Implemented and distributed by the Virginia Department of Historic Resources

The Secretary of the Interior has developed broad national performance standards and guidelines to assist federal agencies in carrying out their historic preservation activities. These federal standards and guidelines are entitled Archeology and Historic Preservation; Secretary of the Interior's Standards and Guidelines (48 FR 44716-44742). Professionals working in Virginia have long recognized the need to standardize archaeological field investigations. This set of guidelines was established to meet this need and to fill the gap between the broad-based federal guidelines and the various previously published field manuals. The Department of Historic Resources' (DHR) guidelines are intended to provide standards and offer general guidance without hindering the development and use of new and innovative approaches.
