Archaeological National Historic Landmarks in the United States

Author(s): Thadra Stanton

Year: 2023

Summary

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

For over 60 years the United States National Historic Landmarks (NHL) program has designated 2,600 sites across the country for their national significance. But the number of archaeological NHLs is much fewer than historic NHLs. This paper is an overview of the current archaeological NHLs and the diversity of sites represented. I will provide some insight on the challenges facing archaeological sites seeking NHL designation.
