Traditional Cultural Places Inventories and Monitoring: Expanding the Management Mindset
Author(s): Madeline Roth; Jennifer McKinnon; Dave Ball
Year: 2025
Summary
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Paper / Report Submission (General Sessions)", at the 2025 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.
Traditional cultural places (TCP) inventories and monitoring present an enhanced opportunity for community engagement and co-stewardship due to the relationships between these heritage resources and living communities. These resources, however, require a relationship-oriented methodological approach for data capture and site stewardship. Drawing from an on-going collaborative project between East Carolina University and the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, this presentation discusses the development of a TCP inventory and monitoring program centered on reciprocal relationships, knowledge sovereignty, and ethical data capture. It further outlines potential methodologies and suggested criteria for Federal resource managers.
