Archeological Survey Plan for the Western Region of the National Park Service:NPS Systemwide Archeological Inventory Program

摘要

The National Archeological Survey Initiative was established to develop aSystemwide Archeological Inventory Program which in turn should improve National Park Service (NPS) accountability for cultural resources. The survey plan for the Western Region is not a research design but is a planning document that incorporates information from resource management plans and other documents. The plan includes a description of park lands, a regional overview and a report on the status of archeological inventory for the region. Regionwide strategies for inventory survey, proposed projects and categorization of regional priorities are discussed.
