Cultural Resource Management (CRM) refers to the discovery,
evaluation, and preservation of culturally significant sites,
focusing on but not limited to archaeological and historical sites
of significance. CRM stems from the National Historic Preservation
Act, passed in 1966. In 1986, archaeologists reviewed the practice
of CRM in the Great Basin. They concluded that it was mainly a
system of finding, flagging, and avoiding- a means of keeping sites
and artifacts safe. Success was measured by counting the number of
sites recorded and acres surveyed. This volume provides an updated
review some thirty years later. The product of a 2016 symposium,
its measures are the increase in knowledge obtained through CRM
projects and the inclusion of tribes, the general public, industry,
and others in the discovery and interpretation of Great Basin
prehistory and history. Revealing both successes and shortcomings,
it considers how CRM can face the challenges of the future.
Chapters offer a variety of perspectives, covering highway
archaeology, inclusion of Native American tribes, and the legacy of
the NHPA, among other topics.
