Evolution and Diversification of Native Land Use Systems on the Olympic Peninsula: a Research Design

Summary

The objective of this study is the development of an archaeological research design and a plan for segmenting Olympic National Park into research/management units. In addition, the project involved an archaeological reconnaissance in one of the management units. The results of this study are intended to provide a dynamic and long-term framework for archaeological research, compliance, and management by NPS. Adaptive Management, currently being used in a variety of environmental management applications, is identified as a useful conceptual structure for building a dynamic design for archaeological research and management. This approach maintains that resource management is properly conducted as an ongoing experiment and, therefore, that research and management are inseparable.
