US Army Corps of Engineers: Current Work in CRM, Research, and Creative Mitigation

Part of: Society for American Archaeology 89th Annual Meeting, New Orleans, LA (2024)

This collection contains the abstracts of the papers presented in the session entitled "US Army Corps of Engineers: Current Work in CRM, Research, and Creative Mitigation" at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

The US Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) is one of the nation’s oldest federal agencies. The Corps has multiple missions, including navigation improvement, erosion and flood control, military construction, emergency response, and authorization of work and structures in waters of the United States. Due to the diversity of its missions and regional specificities, there is an equally diverse amount of work conducted by Corps archaeologists and cultural resource managers that includes working with many different stakeholders, ranging from private individuals to federally recognized tribes to state and federal agencies. This session explores some of the Corps’ current work, including ongoing compliance with Section 106 and Section 110 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended; archaeological investigations; and development of creative mitigation alternatives.
