Following the Voyageurs Highway: Cultural Resource Management in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (2018)
Wilderness areas are generally managed as unpeopled landscapes, in the words of the Wilderness Act, "an area where the earth and its community of life are untrammeled by man, where man himself is a visitor who does not remain." However, wilderness areas do have human histories, and these historical narratives and the archaeological record they left behind can greatly enrich the visitor experience. In the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in northeastern Minnesota, visitors portage canoes...

Forget Projections, Be the Change: Crushing Archaeology Career Myths to Inspire New Trajectories for CRM (2024)
This is an abstract from the "Transformations in Professional Archaeology" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. One of the most popular narratives at this time in archaeology, promoted by Atschul and Klein 2022, is that there will be a dearth of archaeologists now and into the near future, particularly archaeologists with master's degrees or higher. This presentation will bust the myths regarding the role and necessity of advanced degrees in CRM and...

This chapter describes another important aspect of the law: its position as the foundation for public archaeological and historic preservation...
Four Decades of Consulting: A Contractor’s View (2016)
Louis Berger has engaged in cultural and heritage resource management since the early 1980s. This long legacy of project successes, pitfalls, surprises, and minefields offers an interesting perspective of what works and what may not.

Using project examples drawn from each decade, this paper explores consulting hits and misses and highlights the key...

Geophysical Survey Meets Cultural Resource Management at Brooks River NHL (2016)
The Brooks River Archaeological District National Historic Landmark (XMK-050) in Katmai National Park, Alaska, includes sites that date from 2500 BC to the historic period--a cultural record that spans nearly 4500 years. While this district has already yielded data of great scientific importance--including the greatest concentration of Arctic Small Tool tradition dwelling sites in Alaska, and possibly in North America--it is suspected that as much as 90% of the cultural resources remain...

Getting out of the Box: New Horizons for Cultural Resources Data Management and Analyses (2018)
Following the 50th anniversary of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (NHPA), we are compelled to take both a retrospective and introspective view of the NHPA, and in particular the implementation of Section 106. Though making great strides, Section 106, the primary driver of Cultural Resource Management (CRM), is still boxed in by rote inventory and unimaginative interpretation and implementation. This paper will suggest ways we can break out of the box through better data...

This poster details a national initiative by the Bureau of Land Management to create cultural heritage resource data standards, which allow the...
The Gila Wilderness: Defining, Redefining, and Managing Our First Wilderness Area (2018)
In 1924 the Gila Wilderness was established. Ideas of what wilderness is have changed since then, particularly with the passage of the Wilderness Act in 1964. On the Gila National Forest these changes are reflected in changing wilderness boundaries and management strategies. Wilderness boundaries were re-drawn to exclude man-made features, some constructed by the CCC after designation. Historic and prehistoric sites associated with the wilderness, both within and immediately outside of it (and...
