Cultural Resources Laws and Practices |
| Thomas King (Rowman & Littlefield, October 20, 1998) |
| NEPA, ARPA, NAGPRA, SHPOs, THPOs, CEQ, EIS, SIA, Section 106, the National Register, Executive Order 11593. The federal laws, regulations, protocols, and agencies associated with the identification and protection of American cultural resources can be bewildering to the outsider. Thomas F. King, who has been actively involved in cultural resources management practice for almost three decades, demystifies this web of regulation, providing frank, practical advice on how to ensure regulatory compliance in dealing with archaeological sites, historic buildings, urban districts, sacred sites and objects, shipwrecks, and archives. In this brief, informally written guide, he discusses the various federal laws that govern the protection of resources, how they have been interpreted, how they operate in practice, and even how they sometimes contradict each other. The author also provides helpful guidance to the wide array of federal, state, and tribal offices that are concerned with cultural resources management and the special challenges of working with each. King's insider's guide is an essential tool for CRM work by archaeologists, historic preservationists, environmentalists, tribal governments, agency managers, and students.

Tribal Cultural Resource Management |
| Darby C. Stapp, Michael S. Burney, Jude S. Westerfield
(Rowman & Littlefield, July 2002) |
| "The entrance of Native Americans into the world of cultural resources management is forcing a change in the traditional paradigms that have guided archaeologists, anthropologists, and other CRM professionals. This book examines these developments from tribal perspectives, and articulates native views on the identification of cultural resources, how they should be handled and by whom, and what their meaning is in contemporary life. Stapp and Burney also demonstrate the connections between cultural resources and other contemporary issues such as native sovereignty, economic development, human rights, and cultural integrity.

Cultural Resource Archaeology |
| Thomas W. Neumann, Robert M. Stanford
(Rowman & Littlefield, December 2001) |
| Cultural resources (CRM) archaeology is where graduating archaeology students get their jobs and where most field work and funding is now found. Yet, to date, there has not been a basic textbook introducing students to the proper practices of cultural resources archaeology. . . until now. Neumann and Sanford use their decades of teaching and field experience to walk students through the process of conducting a CRM project. After an introduction to the legal and ethical aspects of cultural resources management, the authors describe the process of designing a project, of conducting assessment, testing, and mitigation (Phase I, II, and III) work, and preparing a report for the project sponsor. Throughout, the emphasis on real-world problems and issues, the use of extensive examples, and the practical advice given to the student on everything from law to logistics, make this an ideal teaching tool for archaeology students who wish to become practicing archaeologists. The accompanying training manual by the same authors, PRACTICING ARCHAEOLOGY, discusses each of these topics in greater depth for professional archaeologists |

Places that Count: Traditional Cultural Properties |
| Thomas King,
(Rowman & Littlefield, September 20, 2003) |
Places That Count offers professionals within the field of cultural resource management (CRM) valuable practical advice on dealing with traditional cultural properties (TCPs). Responsible for coining the term to describe places of community-based cultural importance, Thomas King now revisits this subject to instruct readers in TCP site identification, documentation, and management. With more than 30 years of experience at working with communities on such sites, he identifies common issues of contention and methods of resolving them through consultation and other means. Through the extensive use of examples, from urban ghettos to Polynesian ponds to Mount Shasta, TCPs are shown not to be limited simply to American Indian burial and religious sites, but include a wide array of valued locations and landscapes--the United States and worldwide. This is a must-read for anyone involved in historical preservation, cultural resource management, or community development. |

Cultural Resource Management |
| Jordan E. Kerber
(Bergin & Garvey, 1994) |
| Cultural resource management (CRM) involves research, legislation, and education related to the conservation, protection, and interpretation of historic and prehistoric archaeological resources. Kerber's work is divided into four major categories of discussion: theoretical and interpretive frameworks, research methodology, legislation and compliance, and creative protection strategies. The only volume on CRM in Northeastern America since Spiess's Conservation Archaeology in 1978, its contributors are all major participants in archaeology in the Northeast, which includes the six New England states and New York. Because the volume presents successful models and practical advice concerning CRM, it is relevant to regions other than the Northeast and can be helpful in providing a comparative framework for evaluating programs elsewhere in the United States. |

Cultural Resources - Law Enforcement |
| Dee F. Green, Polly Davis
(University Press of the Pacific, December 2002) |
| America's cultural heritage spans the ages from at least 20,000 years B.C. to the present time. Much of this rich and varied resource is found on the National Forests. It is nonrenewable, fragile, and often highly visible. Artifacts and evidence of that heritage are being destroyed by a class of citizen who, out of inadvertence, curiosity, or greed, persists in vandalizing this part of our history for selfish purposes. Loss of our link with the past through vandalism, theft, or other destructive acts is a crime against all Americans. Prepared in 1981 by the Southwestern Region of the United States Forest Service, this volume covers laws and regulations, criminal case background papers, texts of actual court documents, and case preparation aids. |

Legal Perspectives on Cultural Resources |
| Jennifer R. Richmond, Marion P. Forsyth
(Rowman & Littlefield, December 2003 |
Today's archaeologists and law practitioners must have an increased awareness of legal issues pertaining to historic preservation and cultural resource management (CRM). Archaeological sites and finds are non-renewable resources inciting numerous legal debates based upon claims of legitimacy and ownership. In this edited volume of original articles, law professionals and legal scholars offer their perspectives on current debates for the heritage community, giving multiple viewpoints and injecting historical depth to contemporary legal controversies. The contributions focus on three key issues: Enforcement and Preservation; International Issues; and Repatriation--in which insights are given on topics such as underwater cultural heritage, global trade and export, illegal trafficking of antiquities, domestic law enforcement, and indigenous people's legal rights. Famous cases such as the Elgin Marbles and the Kennewick Man, as well as laws such as NAGPRA and McClain doctrine are discussed at length. This book will be an indispensable resource to CRM practitioners, cultural property attorneys, archaeologists, community heritage groups, tribes, museums and galleries, or anyone interested in the preservation of American and global cultural heritage. |
