Archaeological resource management (ARM) is the practice of
recording, evaluating, preserving for future research and
presenting to the public the material remains of the past. Almost
all countries uphold a set of principles and laws for the
preservation and professional management of archaeological remains.
This book offers a critical and comparative perspective on the law
and professional practices of managing archaeological remains.
Beginning with a global history of ARM, John Carman provides an
overview of legal and professional regulations governing ARM today.
He then turns to consider the main practices involved in managing
archaeological remains, namely, their identification and recording,
their evaluation for 'significance', their preservation and their
presentation to the public. As a whole, the book offers an overview
of what ARM 'does' in the world, with implications for
understanding the role of archaeology as a contemporary set of
practices that determine how future generations will access
material remains of the past.
