Completion of this application implies understanding of and an agreement with the following:

You are aware that if you are granted access to archeological site location data, that this information is sensitive and restricted.

Misuse or sharing of this data or sharing of passwords will result in an immediate termination of use and denial of future requests for use.

Professional researchers, independent consultants, and avocational historians and archeologists have compiled this information.

The level of observation of site recorders varies, as does site visibility through time. KSHS makes no warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of the data for any purposes.

The absence of cultural resources in KSHS records does not necessarily mean that none are present. It is possible that the area in question has not been systematically surveyed.

If a search for cultural resources location is undertaken as part of a project that is federally funded, licensed, or permitted, the responsible federal agency is required to allow the Kansas State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) the opportunity to comment under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. Obtaining information on previously recorded cultural resources by archival research or accessing inventory data on-line does not constitute review under Section 106.You are liable for any access fees levied. KSHS or DASC can terminate your access to this data via the World Wide Web given just cause. Neither KSHS nor DASC are responsible for equipment or system failures leading to loss of access. A copy of any report that uses data obtained from the site inventory is requested for the KSHS cultural resources library.

These conditions are subject to change without notice.
