Cultural resources archaeology

Description:

"Cultural resources management (CRM) archaeology is where graduating archaeology students get their jobs and where most fieldwork and funding is now found. Yet, to date, there has not been a basic textbook introducing students to the proper practices of cultural resources archaeology...until now. Neumann and Sanford use their decades of teaching and field experience to walk students through the process of conducting a CRM project. After an introduction to the legal and ethical aspects of cultural resources management, the authors describe the process of designing a project, conducting assessment, testing, and mitigation (Phases I, II, and III), and preparing a report for the project sponsor. Throughout, the emphasis on real-world problems and issues, the use of extensive examples, and the practical advice given to the student on everything from law to logistics make this an ideal teaching took for archaeology students who wish to become practicing archaeologists" -- Back cover.
