Using the NHL framework to Advance the Development of Applied Archaeology (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Amanda Cvinar.

In 2016, the National Park Service celebrated its centennial anniversary thus reminding the public that places of historical significance matter to our national cognizance. Using the National Historic Landmark designation as a means for public education, this papers draws upon my Master’s thesis project, which focuses on building a bridge among CRM, research, and public education at the national level. It serves as a model for how graduate-level, archaeological training contributes to...

Using the Past to Inform the Future: Employing Empirical Data to Guide Future Land Management Decisions (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Brian Yaquinto.

This presentation will explore the opportunity to increase scientific driven data into the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) Section 106 compliance process particularly relating to Bureau of Land Management (BLM) undertakings. The absence of empirical data available to the BLM to analyze how different activities’ development and/or management affect archaeological sites can result in unfounded assumptions and unnecessary complications during project planning and implementation. Using...

Using the Products of Yesterday's Stewardship to Tackle Today's Questions in Historical Archaeology: Insights from the River Basin Surveys Collections (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Lotte E Govaerts.

Many current practices in American archaeology arose from the mid-20th century River Basin Surveys (RBS). These surveys were part of the Inter-Agency Salvage Program, an unprecedentedly large effort to investigate archaeological sites threatened by extensive dam-building projects. RBS researchers studied mostly prehistoric sites, but the work was also a turning point for historical archaeology, especially of the Great Plains and the American West in general. The research priorities of the RBS...

Using Unmanned Aerial Systems and Historical Maps to Monitor Present and Predict Future Shoreline Impacts (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Lindsey Cochran.

This is an abstract from the "Case Studies from SHA’s Heritage at Risk Committee" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Natural and anthropogenic climate changes, specifically from sea-level rise, are drastically reshaping coastal waterways and shorelines. Few regional predictive models capture hyper-local changes. In response, this research project combined geospatial information captured with an unmanned areial system (AUS) with georeferenced maps...
