Rehabilitating America’s Forgotten Excavations: Case Studies from the Veterans Curation Program (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Patrick S Rivera.

Since the passage of historic preservation legislation in the middle of the twentieth century, the pace of mandated excavation has always exceeded the resources devoted to preservation and curation of our national heritage.
