  4. Unit 10 The Future of the Past

  5. Threats to Arch Resources : Development • Road construction, houses,urban and suburban sprawl, water reclamation • Archaeological Resources Protection Act (ARPA) (1979, 1988) • Cultural Resource Management • Archival research and survey • Assessment of “cultural value” and impact • Mitigation

  6. Mechanized Agriculture • Deep plowing; land leveling • No laws or policies in US to regulate practices or monitor destruction (private land) • Probably more destructive of cultural resources worldwide than development

  7. Looting and Collecting • Destroys context and association • Driven by art and collectibles market • Clandestine black market economy • Examples: Pot hunting in Arkansas; looting of museums and sites in Iraq What relationship should professional archaeologists have with looters, collectors, and “amateur archaeologists” ?

  8. Why are US antiquities laws so weak and ineffectual? • Not widely seen as part of our “National Heritage” • Strong cultural and legal tradition protecting individual and private property rights Antiquities Act of 1906 NAGPRA (1990)

  9. Goal of Course: To create more archaeologically informed citizens and consumers How can I get more involved? • Site stewardship programs • Join local archaeology society • Volunteer on a dig • Support local and global efforts to protect cultural heritage sites The Future of the Past is up to You!
