Case Studies from SHA’s Heritage at Risk Committee

Part of: Society for Historical Archaeology 2019

This collection contains the abstracts of the papers presented in the session entitled "Case Studies from SHA’s Heritage at Risk Committee," at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.

SHA created the Heritage at Risk Committee (HARC) in 2016 to promote research on endangered sites, build best practice examples for engaging the public, and develop resources for use by SHA members. This inaugural session brings founding committee members together to shine a light on impacts from climate change and other disasters on cultural resources, highlight partnerships between multidisciplinary professionals and the public, and feature collaborations across other committees within SHA. Papers will describe historic sites and impacts, but also offer recommendations of future action to protect cultural resources as a critical component of resilient communities.
