Real World Archaeology: When Preservation Issues Break the Heart

Tuesday April 11, 2006
Just about twenty years ago, I was a young whippersnapper archaeologist, leading my first large highway survey project, surveying 25 miles of a 400 foot wide corridor over hills and valleys through agricultural land in advance of a new four-lane highway. One day, I got my first inkling that cultural resource management means there are impacts on the human culture of an area that are not related to the archaeological sites.
