Nevada IMACS Cultural Reporting

When the Ground Speaks, You Need a Report That Holds Up

Recording sites in Nevada means meeting strict standards: location, artifacts, features, boundary, condition, context, all per BLM / SHPO expectations. The IMACS form is non-negotiable for archaeological inventory reporting in many NV federal projects. (Bureau of Land Management)
Assembling all the component data — artifact inventories, feature descriptions, maps, sketches — into a coherent IMACS submittal can be a struggle. Wildnote helps you collect each piece (fields, photos, maps) and produce a clean, compliant IMACS package ready for review.
