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.

Places That Count offers professionals within the field of cultural
resource management (CRM) valuable practical advice on dealing with
traditional cultural properties (TCPs). Responsible for coining the
term to describe places of community-based cultural importance,
Thomas King now revisits this subject to instruct readers in TCP
site identification, documentation, and management. With more than
30 years of experience at working with communities on such sites,
he identifies common issues of contention and methods of resolving
them through consultation and other means. Through the extensive
use of examples, from urban ghettos to Polynesian ponds to Mount
Shasta, TCPs are shown not to be limited simply to American Indian
burial and religious sites, but include a wide array of valued
locations and landscapes--the United States and worldwide. This is
a must-read for anyone involved in historical preservation,
cultural resource management, or community development.
Tom King knows cultural resource management. As one of its
long-standing practitioners, a key person in developing the
regulations, and a consultant, trainer, and author of several
important books on the topic, King's ideas on CRM have had a large
impact on contemporary practice. In this witty, sardonic book, he
outlines ways of improving how cultural resources are treated in
America. King tackles everything from disciplinary blinders,
NAGPRA, and the National Register to flaws in the Section 106
process, avaricious consultants, and the importance of meaningful
consultation with native peoples. This brief work is an important
source of new ideas for anyone working in this field and a good
starting point for discussion in courses and training programs.
Section 106. A critical section of an obscure law, the National
Preservation Act. It has saved thousands of historic sites,
archeological sites, buildings, and neighborhoods across the
country from destruction by Federal projects. And it has let even
more be destroyed, or damaged, or somehow changed. It is the major
legal basis for a multi-million dollar 'cultural resource
management' industry that provides employment to thousands of
archeologists, historians, and architectural historians. It is
interpreted in a wide variety of ways by judges, lawyers, Federal
agency officials, State and Tribal Historic Preservation Officers,
contractors, and academics. But what does it say, and how does the
regulatory process it created actually work? In this book, Tom King
de-mythologizes Section 106, explaining its origins, its rationale,
and the procedures that must be followed in carrying out its terms.
Available just months after the latest revision of section 106,
this book builds on King's best-selling work, Cultural Resource
Laws and Practice: an Introductory Guide (AltaMira Press 1998). It
is indispensable for federal, state, tribal, legal, academic, and
citizen practitioners in the United States. King's engaging and
witty prose turns a tangle of complicated regulation into a
readable and engaging guide. ** CLICK 'Sample Readings' below to

Sustainability and Historic Preservation: Towards a Holistic View
broadens the horizons of the mushrooming drive to correlate the
objectives of these two spheres. To date, discussions of the
relationship between historic preservation and sustainability have
generally focused on the energy consumption of buildings. The nine
chapters in this book show how that agenda can and should be
expanded by examining many other facets of the environment,
including agricultural lands, urban waterworks, irrigation systems,
natural settings, an arboretum, and post-World War II suburbs.
Written by specialists from a variety of disciplines anthropology,
architecture, landscape architecture, and urban history among them
the contents explore new realms in which historic preservation and
sustainability can have common purpose. This book addresses
subjects of concern to many persons engaged in both fields and
argues the case for creating a greater spectrum of common ground
between them.
Can modern science tell us what happened to Amelia Earhart? The
International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery (TIGHAR) has
spent fifteen years searching for the famous lost pilot using
everything from archival research and archaeological survey to
side-scan sonar and the analysis of radio wave propagation. In this
spellbinding book, four of TIGHAR's scholars offer tantalizing
evidence that the First Lady of the Air and her navigator Fred
Noonan landed on an uninhabited tropical island but perished before
they could be rescued. Do they have Amelia's shoe? Parts of her
airplane? Are her bones tucked away in a hospital in Fiji? Come
join their fascinating expedition and examine the evidence for
yourself The new paperback edition brings the search up to the
present, including tantalizing evidence of campfires and charred
bones found on remote Nikumaroro. Visit the Authors' Web page for

This pragmatic guide to consultation in cultural heritage and
environmental impact management distills decades of experience by
two of the leading figures in this area. Claudia Nissley and Tom
King reject the idea that consulting with communities and other
stakeholders is merely checking off a box on the list of tasks
required to implement a project. Instead, they show government
agencies and project sponsors how to find the relevant parties, to
discuss the project in an open and continuous fashion, to consider
alternative strategies, and to seek agreement that meets everyone's
needs. The authors also provide useful guidance to community
leaders and other stakeholders to represent their interests in the
consultation process. Complete with practical suggestions and cases
of successful (and less successful) consultation projects,
Consultation and Cultural Heritage is a book that no one involved
in this field should be without.

Most Americans agree that our heritage--both natural and
cultural--should be protected. Then why does development run
rampant, aided--rather than limited--by government inaction? Tom
King has been a participant in and observer of this system for
decades, as a government worker, heritage consultant, and advocate
for local communities. In this hard-hitting critique of the
heritage-industrial complex, King points the finger at watchdogs
who instead serve as advocates, unintelligible (often
contradictory) regulations, disinterested government employees and
power-seeking agencies, all of whom conspire to keep our heritage
unprotected. His solution to this crisis will be uncomfortable to
many in power, but may help save more of our cultural and natural
treasures.

survey work. In addition to providing the legal and historical
