The Smithsonian Institution's River Basin Surveys and the
Interagency Archeological Salvage Program were the most ambitious
archaeological projects ever undertaken in the United States.
Administered by the National Park Service from 1945-1969, the
programs had profound effects-methodological, theoretical, and
historical-on American archaeology, many of which are still being
felt today. They stimulated the public's interest in heritage
preservation, led to the passage of the National Historic
Preservation Act, served as the model for rescue archaeology in
other countries, and helped launch the "New Archaeology." This book
examines the impacts of these two programs on the development of
American archaeology.
