Preservation, Protection, and Outreach Programs in National Park Service Archaeology
Part of: Society for American Archaeology 80th Annual Meeting, San Francisco, CA (2015)
For nearly 100 years, the National Park Service (NPS) has preserved, protected, and interpreted archeological resources throughout the United States. While many such efforts efforts take place in park units, NPS also conducts programs and initiatives that are national and international in scale. NPS archeologists are responding to the threats posed by climate change, reaching out to youth and other constituencies, supporting enforcement of the laws that protect archaeological sites, and working with partners to develop solve pressing problems in heritage conservation. This session demonstrates the depth and diversity of recent NPS archeological practice by presenting large-scale initiatives mounted by NPS parks and programs.
