Cultural Resource Management: A Collaborative Primer for Archaeologists

by Thomas F. King

Stressing the interdisciplinary, public-policy oriented character of Cultural Resource Management (CRM), which is not merely “applied archaeology,” this short, relatively uncomplicated introduction is aimed at emerging archaeologists. Drawing on fifty-plus years’ experience, and augmented by the advice of fourteen collaborators, Cultural Resource Management explains what “CRM archaeologists” do, and explores the public policy, ethical, and pragmatic implications of doing it for a living.

Very straightforward and well written. King breaks down what CRM work is (primarily as defined by Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act) and what it looks like in practice.
