Summary
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Hard Science on Hard Steel: Scientific Studies of the USS Arizona" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.
Pearl Harbor National Memorial is a tribute to the servicemen and civilians killed in the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941 and a recognized symbol of American service and sacrifice on Oahu and throughout the entire Pacific Theater of Operations during World War II. The National Park Service (NPS) has developed an integrated resource management and scientific research program to manage the wrecks of the USS Arizona and USS Utah as archaeological sites and active memorials and gravesites. This paper will discuss the complexities of cultural and natural resource management within an active military installation and the critical need of understanding site formation processes and the structural integrity of modern metal shipwrecks.
