The Dairy site is a long-lived prehistoric locality situated at the juncture of the Tortolita Mountains piedmont and the Santa Cruz River floodplain north of Tucson, Arizona. Although the site has yielded important evidence of early Hohokam settlement and cultural developments, the sporadic nature of investigations, the lack of data from early fieldwork, and the destruction of significant portions of the site by the original Shamrock Dairy operation provide substantial challenges to...

Activities related to the Underground Railroad were both ephemeral and illicit. As a result, the little direct evidence that might have existed was often destroyed or hidden. How then, can the association of a property with the Underground Railroad be established, and what does it mean for a property to have integrity? Using case studies from Boone County, Kentucky, we demonstrate how the accumulation of indirect evidence can document this association and what integrity might mean for different...

While facility-wide cultural resource management at large DoD installations has increasingly been managed with GIS, many organizations have legacy information in the form of hard copy reports and non-searchable site files. In order to successfully fulfill legal and ethical responsibilities as long-term stewards of cultural resources on these installations, it is imperative that DoD staff make the incorporation of these legacy records into their enterprise GIS management framework a priority....

This is an abstract from the "Navigating Ethical and Legal Quandaries in Modern Archaeological Curation" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The care and preservation of cultural materials is viewed by the public as a vital role of the museum.
