N.M. Code R. § 4.10.8.19 - CURATION OF COLLECTIONS AND RECORDS
All material remains collected during archaeological investigations conducted under a permit and written and photographic records resulting from an archaeological investigation, regardless of whether or not all of the work specified in the permit was completed, shall be curated consistent with this section.
A.
Collections. Title to all material remains recovered from state
land is held by the state of New Mexico unless the material remains are
recovered from state trust land. The commissioner of public lands holds title
in trust to all material remains located on state trust lands for the
designated beneficiaries of the land.
(1) The
museum of New Mexico is the custodian of material remains and associated
records and documents recovered as a result of archaeological investigations on
state land unless the CPRC designates another institution as the alternate,
approved collection repository in consultation with the museum.
(2) The MIAC serves as the repository for the
museum of New Mexico. If the applicant proposes another repository, the
applicant shall append a copy of the curation agreement with that facility to
the application along with an explanation of the purpose of using a facility
other than MIAC as a repository. This request shall be reviewed by the CPRC and
if approved by the CPRC and the commissioner of public lands if state trust
lands are involved, shall be specified in writing on the permit as a
stipulation.
(3) The commissioner
has designated the museum of New Mexico as the custodian of all material
remains found on lands under the jurisdiction of the state land office unless
the CPRC and the commissioner of public lands approves another institution as
the collections repository.
(4) In
order to qualify as a custodian of material remains and associated records and
documents, the repository shall meet the U.S. secretary of interior standards
in 36 CFR 79.
(5) If an alternate
approved collection repository with material remains and associated records
from state land ceases to exist, the material remains and associated records
shall be delivered to the MIAC for curation.
(6) All material remains and records
pertaining to the collections to be received by the MIAC or an alternate
approved repository shall be submitted in accordance with the conditions
stipulated by the permittee's current curation agreement with that facility. If
the collections are not submitted in accordance with the curation agreement or
an account is in arrears with the repository, the repository may notify the
CPRC. This failure shall be documented as unacceptable performance pursuant to
4.10.8.21
NMAC.
B.
Written
and photographic records. ARMS manages NMCRIS and the records repository
on behalf of HPD including all NMCRIS investigation records, LA archaeological
site records, including site updates resulting from survey, excavation, test
excavation or monitoring and associated reporting, HCPI forms, and photographic
materials. These records shall be prepared consistent with the standards in the
NMCRIS user's guide and submitted in accordance with
4.10.19.9
NMAC.
