Archaeology and the National Park Idea: Challenges for Management and Public Presentation<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
John H. Jameson, Jr
\nNational Park Service (USA), Convenor<\/p>\n
For over one hundred years, the “national park idea” has inspired a myriad of resource conservation and protection efforts around the world. While resource conservation and protection have been the common goals of management efforts, the nature of these programs and the consequences for resource management and public presentation have been strongly influenced by cultural, social, political, and budgetary realities. The management and interpretation of archaeological records in these settings present unique challenges. This session will examine the cross-cultural relevancy and effectiveness of differing strategies for management and public presentation of archaeological materials and information. The discussions and conclusions from the session should be useful to resource managers and agencies in recognizing the effectiveness of a variety of management approaches and in not “reinventing the wheel.”<\/p>\n
This session calls for papers that deal with management and public interpretation of archaeological sites and materials relating to:<\/p>\n
case studies and examples of management and interpretation strategies in national parks and similar conservation areas
\nthe primary motivations for management and public interpretation strategies (i.e. compliance to laws and regulations, preservation, tourism, politics, etc.)
\nphilosophical background to alternative strategies according to cultural, sociopolitical, or budgetary forces and restraints
\ncritiques of effectiveness of management and public interpretation strategies<\/p>\n
