This feature layer is maintained by the New York State Division for Historic Preservation, also known as the New York State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). For more information, see SHPO’s website: https://parks.ny.gov/shpo/

Accessing this dataset does not constitute “consultation” with SHPO under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 or with DHP under Section 14.09 of the New York State Historic Preservation Act.

This feature class comprises areas that are a specified distance around archaeological sites that SHPO has inventoried. Because these areas are only based on proximity to sites, locations within these areas may not be archaeologically sensitive, and locations outside of these areas may still be archaeologically sensitive. SHPO’s Archaeology Unit reviewers evaluate sensitivity based on a variety of environmental factors, including topography and hydrology, so these buffer areas are only suggestive. If you have questions about the potential archaeological sensitivity of a location, please visit SHPO’s Contact page to find the Archaeology Unit reviewer for the county.
