Cultural Resources Pro-Seminar and Orientation Class Program Discontinued

Due to budget and staffing considerations, the County cancelled the December 2012 Cultural Resources Pro-Seminar and Orientation Class. Further, the County's Cultural Resources Pro-Seminar and Orientation Class program will also be discontinued indefinitely. Those already on the County's Cultural Resources Consultant List will remain on the list. Those wishing to be placed on the County's list will be required to meet the minimum requirements dictated by the Secretary of the Interior for Archaeology and will also be required to sign an MOU with the County (as previously required).

Please contact the County Geologist at (951) 955-6892 if you have any questions.

2013 Requirements Changes

As of January 1, 2013, all cultural resources reports prepared for proposed private development projects within the unincorporated County of Riverside shall be submitted directly to the office of the County Geologist for review, rather than the Project Planner. Also, now required is one wet-signed and certified original paper copy of the final report for review. Primary and trinomial site numbers are to be included as are all pertinent data and exhibits to allow for comprehensive review by the County Archaeologist. Once the report has been accepted/approved by the County, the consultant will be notified to submit one PDF-formatted disc copy of the final report.
Reports are to be submitted to:

County of Riverside
