<DIV><SPAN style="FONT: 12pt Garamond; COLOR: #000000">PUBLIC ARCHAEOLOGY DAY JULY 7 AT FORT LANE STATE PARK</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="FONT: 12pt Garamond; COLOR: #000000">The Southern Oregon University Laboratory of Anthropology, in collaboration with the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department, will conduct a public archaeology day from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m., July 7 at Fort Lane.</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="FONT: 12pt Garamond; COLOR: #000000">The day will enable the public to learn about the importance of protecting Oregon’s archaeological sites and archaeological field work. Archaeologists and OPRD staff will talk about the excavations, show uncovered artifacts and how they are cared for, and demonstrate how archaeological sites are treated, interpreted and preserved for the public good.</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="FONT: 12pt Garamond; COLOR: #000000">Built in 1853, shortly after the signing of the Rogue River or Table Rock Treaty that ceded title of the Rogue Valley to the United States, Fort Lane established the Table Rock Indian Reservation. The fort protected residents of the reservation and acted as a buffer between the Tribes and increasing number of settlers to southern Oregon for several years.</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="FONT: 12pt Garamond; COLOR: #000000">The archaeological work at Fort Lane focuses on one of the enlisted men’s barracks. Archaeologists hope to fund remains of this structure and recover items of daily life that will help understand the lives of men as they negotiated the complex life on the western frontier. This work complements last fall’s excavations of officer’s quarters. </SPAN></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="FONT: 12pt Garamond; COLOR: #000000">Fort Lane is located on Gold Ray Road in Central Point. Parking at the site will be limited so car-pooling is encouraged. For more information about the public archaeology day, contact Chelsea Rose at 541-261-3087.

<DIV><BR>ENTERPRISE SEEKS BUSINESS DISTRICT DESIGN GUIDELINES PROPOSALS </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The City of Enterprise is accepting proposals from interested consultants to assist with the development of Design Guidelines for the Central Business District. The successful consultant will work closely with the Historic Landmarks Commission, the community and City staff to develop design guidelines for downtown Enterprise. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The request for proposal (RFP) requires specific, clear, illustrated guidelines customized to the period of significance (1888 to 1956), the culture and community of Enterprise. Downtown Enterprise features six buildings listed on National Register of Historic Places, with several local landmarks designated in the last two years. Many owners have taken advantage of the Exterior Rehabilitation Matching Grant program, which has elevated the need for comprehensive design guidelines.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The proposal deadline is 4 p.m., Aug. 10. To read the request for proposal, which outlines the proposed scope of work and schedule for the design guidelines, visit <A href="http://www.enterpriseoregon.org/images/RFPDesignguidelinesEnterprisefinal.pdf">www.enterpriseoregon.org/images/RFPDesignguidelinesEnterprisefinal.pdf</A> .</DIV>
