- Title
THE ARCHAEOLOGY OF DISTURBANCE: A LAND MANAGEMENT-BASED APPROACH TO CULTURAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT IN CALIFORNIA STATE PARKS.
- Authors
COLLIER, JOANNA
- Abstract
Since California State Parks operates under a mandate to protect the state's cultural resources, archaeological sites in state parks are preserved in place and actively managed through time. Stewardship of each individual site is passed from one archaeologist to another throughout the decades. To be able to fully evaluate the potential effects of future projects, it is vitally important to understand the history of site disturbance. This understanding is achieved through accurate and thorough documentation of archaeological excavation, project-based disturbance, visitor impacts, and natural weathering processes, and by making that information easily available to other cultural resource managers.
