Beskrivning

Most students who pursue a career in archaeology will find employment in cultural resource management (CRM), rather than in academia or traditional fieldwork. It is CRM, the protection and preservation of archaeological and other resources, that offers the jobs and provides the funding. Few textbooks, however, are dedicated to teaching students the techniques and practices of this field. Cultural Resources Archaeology, now brought completely up date in this second edition and replete with new case studies from the western U.S., fills in the gap. Drawing on their decades of teaching and field experience, the authors walk students through the intricacies of CRM. They clearly describe the processes of designing a project, conducting assessment, testing, doing essential mitigation work (Phases I, II, and III), and preparing reports. The book's emphasis on real-world problems and issues, use of extensive examples from around the country, and practical advice on everything from law to logistics make it an ideal teaching tool for archaeology students who dream of becoming practicing archaeologists.

Recensioner i media

The second edition of Cultural Resources Archaeology provides a long-awaited update. The format and style of the revised edition is concise yet readable, making it even more accessible than before to archaeology students seeking the inside story on becoming established professional archaeologists. It should be equally valuable to non-archaeological professionals looking to improve their understanding of best practices in cultural resources archaeology. This volume 'lifts the veil' on the intricacies of archaeological research done under the auspices of compliance legislation and effectively demonstrates how to achieve high quality archaeological results even under challenging contractual scenarios.
