A CURSE OR A BLESSING IN DISGUISE: IS CULTURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT, ARCHAEOLOGY FUTURE?

Sharla Azizi

As we approach the next millennium, Culture Resource Management role in the field of archaeology should not be overlooked, good or bad. How has its presence the way archaeology is taught and practised? Although archaeology is embedded in the past, CRM is a very present and future oriented discipline, sometimes at odds with academia’s traditional ideas of “Real Archaeology”.

The papers in this session will deal with the application of CRM in several countries, and the effects, if any, it has had on theory, field methodology, artifacts and site interpretation.
