Grant Overview

Tennessee’s karst topography and reservoir shorelines create preservation conditions that accelerate organic artifact decay once exposed. State archaeologists logged a 37 percent increase in at-risk collections between 2018 and 2023, driven by fluctuating water levels at Tennessee Valley Authority impoundments. Existing data management systems rely on legacy spreadsheets that lack relational links between excavation units and conservation treatment logs.

Cost_constraints_first New software tools must therefore operate within the $18,000 annual licensing ceiling set by the Tennessee Historical Commission for nonprofit users. Proposals that introduce proprietary platforms requiring recurring fees above this threshold are ineligible.

Application realities include mandatory integration testing against the Tennessee Division of Archaeology’s current SQL server instance. Vendors must supply 12 months of maintenance support priced as a single line item rather than annual renewals.

"Tennessee Data Management Cost Controls" Eligibility requires that all code be released under an open-source license approved by the state’s information technology department. Budgets are evaluated on the ratio of development hours allocated to mobile field entry versus desktop analysis modules, with preference for applications that reduce tablet hardware needs by at least 40 percent.

Unlike Kentucky applications, Tennessee requires demonstration of reservoir shoreline data protocols due to TVA fluctuation schedules.
