Managing Archaeological Resources

Convened By
Frank McManamon (USA) and Gamini Wijesuriya (New Zealand)

Theme Details
From its inception, the World Archaeological Congress has focused on the management of archaeological resources (Cleere 1989; McManamon and Hatton 2000), or how archaeological resources are cared for. WAC-5 continues this focus and tradition. Management issues relating to a wide range of archaeological resources (sites, including some with substantial structures or structural features, collections, and records) all are considered within this management theme.

Management topics are categorized under three general headings: research, planning, and stewardship.

Research includes investigations to locate, examine, and evaluate sites, investigations of collections and records to explore new research topics, and activities exploring improvements for the preservation or protection of archaeological resources.

Planning involves the incorporating considerations about archaeological resources as part of plans for general economic development or land use systems, as well as for specific facility or infrastructure developments, such as dams, highways, and water treatment plants.

Stewardship includes a wide range of activities related to the specific treatment of archaeological resources, such as in situ conservation, public interpretation, preservation, and protection schemes.

Crosscutting subthemes are welcomed. Several can be suggested:

(1) The description and analysis of regulatory frameworks/public policy for archaeological resource management: To be effective, archaeological management must be supported by a national, state, provincial or local system of statutes, regulations and policies, as well as some level of public financing. Effective management of archaeological resources requires decisions about how the resources can be best protected, preserved, utilized, and interpreted.

(2) Archaeological management and local communities: Effective archaeological management also must recognize, understand, and address local situations, including the needs and controlling conditions for local human populations. Communities residing near or among the locations of archaeological resources have important, sometimes critical, influences on the protection and preservation of these resources. Community members protect and maintain these resources when they regard them as their own, and the actions of local officials and local communities increasingly are of importance in cultural resource preservation, protection, and interpretation.

(3) New approaches and developments of methods, techniques, and concepts related to archaeological resource management: Improvements in the effectiveness and efficiency of archaeological management can reduce costs and provide better outcomes. Many archaeological management activities are part of the “cost of business” for governments, so improvements in efficiency and reductions in cost are especially important and regularly contribute to more effective and efficient work.

(4) Public education and outreach: To justify and promote archaeological management, education and outreach activities are often needed to ensure that present and future generations realize the importance of archaeology for understanding our heritage, history and selves. Stewardship of resources includes, and frequently requires, these activities. Interpretation, education, exhibition, must be planned as part of the overall strategy for its conservation, not simply bolted on as an afterthought, or as a weak justification for de facto decisions taken, driven by our professional concerns, and from within our professional, relatively closed, circles.

Public policy for archaeological resource management is an essential matter if a modern nations are to successfully preserve their histories and heritage in the face of modern pressures. A nation that does not preserve its past is unlikely to have much of a future, either figuratively or literally. At the beginning of the twenty?first century the kinds of archaeological resources our civilization considers important have a much wider range than those that were regarded as monuments at the beginning of the twentieth century. Having a wider scope and distribution, archaeological resources also are more widely claimed and disputed. To be effective advocates in this new century, those of us working in archaeological management need to form alliances across cultural frontiers. As we do so, we need to remember what we have learned and what we can share with each other in international meetings such as WAC 5.

New digital technologies present exciting opportunities to distribute archaeological information quickly and widely. There is enormous potential for expanding what we know about ourselves and the past – and for reaching the general public with that knowledge. However, the rapid changes in electronic technology present many challenges for data management and information dissemination, especially maintaining data access. Digital data are often archived as printouts, or as digital files in the software format and medium current when the project was completed. As software and hardware rapidly change, serious long-term maintenance and access problems are inevitable and will result in tragic loss of data. Little progress on preserving electronic records can be made without heightened awareness of the issues and dissemination of appropriate archival practices to the archaeological community. The archival and library communities have made contributions to the preservation of electronic records and some of these preservation principles may be applied to archaeological data with modifications for the unique needs of the collections. In this session, individuals in the archaeological community who have worked to clarify these issues and identify methods present recent advances in electronic record preservation. The presentations will highlight the unique challenges of digital archiving and explore efforts to meet those challenges that are of benefit to the larger archaeological community.

From Compliance Toward Stewardship? International Perspectives On The Maturation Of Cultural/Heritage Resources Management

Organized By
John P. McCarthy (USA) and Peter Howard (UK)

Session Details
Cultural/heritage resources management is an established area of professional practice in many parts of the world. While largely driven by legislative mandate in its infancy, the professional practice of heritage resources management has matured over time and the term “stewardship” is now widely used with reference to the management of cultural as well as natural resources. This session will examine how the professional practice of managing heritage resources has developed in recent years, considering what, if anything, has changed, and what “stewardship” means to contemporary practioners, the public and private agencies for whom they work, and the public at large. The papers present the diverse experiences, attitudes, and values of those who undertake this work day-to-day and represents a unique opportunity to share with and learn from each other.

Remote Sensing For Archaeology

Organized By
Marshall Faintich (USA) & Garth Lawrence (Canada)

Session Details
The focus of this session is to use remote sensing for Expedited Archaeological Site Characterization (EASC). This is the use of aerial and satellite imagery with or without ground based sensors to characterize the archaeological landscape and locate underground structures. Given limited time, people, and dollar resources, looking in the right or most probable places first is a good way to optimise limited resources before the sites are damaged by modern construction and/or environmental pollutants.

The session would try to limit papers that deal with remote sensing of known sites unless remote sensing enhances existing knowledge by expanding the archaeological boundaries or putting the site into a larger landscape structure. The use of remote sensing and close range photogrammetry of known structures for measurement and documentation is more appropriate in a theme of archaeological site preservation.

A three hour session is proposed that would include six or seven papers and a panel discussion, on Remote Sensing Combined with Invasive Techniques for EASC

Collaboration, Consultation, Descendants And More: Looking Reflexively At The Concepts Archaeologists Use

Organized By
Carol McDavid (USA), Joe Watkins (USA) and Anna Agbe-Davies (USA)

Session Details
This panel discussion will attempt to critically examine the concepts we use in the “everyday” practice of public archaeology – consultation, collaboration, constituencies, descendants, community, empowerment, and politics, for example. We will attempt to cross over (or at least set aside) the boundaries between different types of archaeology (historical and prehistoric, as well as between different national and legislative systems) to explore deeper commonalities (and differences) between archaeological work in different contexts. We hope to discover connections and affinities outside of the arenas in which we normally work – to learn from colleagues whom we would not customarily encounter without explicitly trying to do so. To illustrate what is meant by “to critically examine certain concepts and words”, following is one detailed example:

What effect does “consultation” have on both archaeologists and their constituent communities? How does this vary depending on political and social context? How is the word defined differently within different archaeological contexts? In the US, as a result of NAGPRA, the term has come to mean (for some archaeologists) a specific process mandated by legislation and codified in regulation. For other archaeologists, it operates on a more voluntary level and is not mandated or required, unless individual archaeologists choose to do it, and/or individual constituent groups demand it. What can individual archaeologists do to enact “consultative” relationships when the descendant groups they work with are not empowered by legislation to be “consulted with”? How can they demand that non-mandated governmental agencies consult meaningfully with certain groups? How can descendant groups become empowered to demand an active role in determining how their ancestors’ pasts are researched and publicly interpreted? How can all stakeholders deploy historically situated political and social forces to create consultations that are seen to be meaningful and useful to other stakeholders? How does the idea of “consultation” play out in Europe, the Middle East, Central/South America, Africa and other geographic regions? How do different legislative systems affect how this concept can, or cannot be, applied? What can archaeologists working in different contexts learn from each other about what consultation means – how does it change our discipline, and, more important, how does it (or can it) change society?

Following are questions which might be used to examine two other “problematic” words archaeologists generally use: “collaboration” and “descendant community”.

Is “collaboration” always seen as a “good thing”, or in some contexts – such as perhaps in Western European archaeology – does it come laden with different meanings related to specific historical context? Do some members of the public – and some archaeologists – define it differently than others?

Should “descendant communities” necessarily be related by traceable lines of family connection? Or is it more properly conceived of as a larger, more amorphous concept, created by affiliations of common interest and, perhaps, the historical oppression of specific cultural groups? Either way – who is empowered to define what a “descendant community” is? The members of the community who claim membership? Governmental and quasi-governmental agencies who seek to work with “descendants”? Individual archaeologists who seek local support for their work? How does this vary by geographical, governmental, historical and disciplinary context?

In sum, we hope that this symposium will allow us to look, critically and reflexively, at what it is that commonly taken-for-granted words and concepts do, in terms of the discipline and in society more generally. The final organization of the symposium will depend on the interests expressed by individual participants.

The association of ‘identity’ (either cultural, historical, social etc) with cultural heritage is well established in the heritage literature. However, to what extent does public policy, heritage law and practice, and museum display and curation policies and practices incorporate measures to facilitate the development and/or maintenance of identity and to what extent do these provide room for any challenges to received ideas of identity and community? This session aims to examine the extent to which regional and local identity is defined and promoted in contrast to perceptions of national identity. These issues have particular resonance as the European Union moves to promote a sense of common European identity: To what extent are individual states promoting non-national identities? These issues also have importance in federated states and any country with ethnic/cultural minorities.

Multiple Perspectives In Cultural Resource Management

In the past, decisions about the disposition and management of archaeological and other cultural resources have been made by members of dominant societies that are perceived (by those societies) as having specific academic or political qualifications to make these decisions. Increasingly, however, indigenous, descendant and local communities are insisting that they have a right to participate in the process. Many archaeologists have included the indigenous communities in their work, remembering their anthropological roots. Other archaeologists and researchers are recognizing the moral imperative to develop cooperative relationships with these communities. As tribal governments become more involved in cultural resource management, many questions arise, including:How is significance defined?What qualifications should Indian cultural resource managers possess?What is meaningful consultation?What is the political tolerance level for preservation of archaeological sites and traditional cultural places?

This session focuses on the efforts of indigenous communities to bring their own perspectives to the management of cultural resources, but includes the efforts of non-indigenous archaeologists to include indigenous perspectives in their own management activities. The presenters that have been recruited are all from the United States, primarily because the laws and regulations that govern archaeological resource management at the national level encourage–or at least allow–the participation of indigenous communities. However, we believe that the variety of issues discussed in this session will have application wherever indigenous populations must interact with dominant societies to preserve their archaeological heritage.

Is The Private Sector Part Of The Solution For International Cultural Heritage Management?

Organized By
Tomas Mendizabal and Alvaro Brizuela Casimir (Panama), Gerald A. Wait (UK) and Thomas R. Wheaton (USA)

Session Details
This session will not be a traditional paper-reading session, but will instead present ideas and experiences in an attempt to spark a wide discussion among the panel and with the audience. The panelists will provide information from different perspectives to address the problems of running a private sector business in various countries, and also will address the question of whether the private sector can provide a partial or alternative solution to the managment of cultural heritage in different parts of the world, and especially in countries with limited monetary and governmental resources. The panel will represent the range of private companies conducting archaeology, including consulting companies, engineering companies, oil companies, etc. and will briefly discuss how the private sector works in their country, how their specific business operates, the regulatory climate under which projects are conducted, how quality and business ethics are maintained, the kinds of problems they have run into with government agencies, academia and the public, and how they have overcome those problems. This will be followed by a general discussion with the audience on the place of the private sector in international cultural heritage management, and whether it is a viable alternative for countries attempting to comply with the ever increasing demands of international lending institutions, national governments, and the public to take cultural resouces into consideration during development. A proposal to publish information and to continue the networking begun at WAC5 on the status of the private sector internationally will also be discussed.

Military Impacts And Stewardship Of Archaeological Resources

Organized By
Cheryl L. Huckerby (USA) and Vincent Gaffney (UK)

Session Details
Rational:
In many countries, the respective Departments of Defense control thousands if not millions of acres of land for military training, development of military related equipment and weaponry, and to support the military organization in general such as supply depots. Many acres of these lands contain archaeological resources that are important to the heritage of the local people as well as the nation. Based on the local and national heritage concerns, defense organizations have developed policies to manage these resources to preserve and conserve those archaeological resources considered most important. In addition, many countries host other nation’s forces and as such agreements are developed to help educate visiting forces on the local preservation and conservation procedures as they relate to the forces activities.

The landscape is the major connection between military activities and archaeological resources. The resources were created over a period time through various depositional actions. In some cases they are stable and other they are not. Military activities use the landscape to maneuver using a variety of wheeled and tracked equipment. Other activities such as demolitions and general weapon usage cause damage to the landscape. The result is the possibility of damaging or completely destroying archaeological resources.

The aim of this session is to examine the types of impacts suffered by archaeological resources during training and possibly wartime activities to identify ways of avoiding or reducing such damage. Also important are identifying effective awareness programs and management techniques.

Proposed Format:
Abbreviated positions or arguments briefly presented by participants at the beginning of the session (summarizing their web-posted papers), followed by discussion among participants and/or with the audience. It is anticipated that the number of papers and speakers will involve two 2-hour segments.

Session Topics:
Integration of Archaeological protection with Training Planning
Protection and Conservation Policy Development
Techniques and Tools for In situ Protection
Soldier Awareness programs
Wartime Protection and Awareness Policies
Host Nation Policies and Integration in Visiting Nation training Planning

Session Details
Public policy concerning the protection and appropriate uses of archaeological resources is essential if modern nations are to preserve their histories and heritage. National systems and policies for the management of archaeological resources exist in a variety of different forms throughout the world. Effective systems must be supported by national statutes, regulations, and policies. But, these national systems must recognize, understand, and address local situations and concerns, as well. How effectively national management strategies operate at the local level often determines the success of such efforts.

The proposed session provides an opportunity to describe and examine national and local strategies for managing archaeological resources with particular attention to implementation at the local level and the articulation of goals, policies, and methods. Effective advocacy in this new century requires those of us working in archaeological management to form alliances across cultural and political boundaries. Through an international, cross-cultural comparison of national and local archaeological resource management strategies it is our hope to reflect upon the variety of methodologies and approaches used by nation-states in managing resources and the operative phase of these policies and strategies at the local community level.

The World Bank is in the final stage of converting its Operational Policy Note 11.03: Management of Cultural Property in Bank-financed Projects (dating from 1986) to Operational Policy and Bank Procedures 4.11: Physical Cultural Resources. This policy provides guidance concerning evaluation of potential impacts to physical cultural resources for projects financed by the World Bank, and will be implemented through the environmental assessment process. Application of the policy will require a broad awareness of its existence, terms and implications, among a variety of individuals and organizations. These include: cultural, environmental and construction officials, environmental assessment consultants, archaeologists, and other cultural heritage specialists. Implementation of the policy also may stimulate stock-taking and documentation of culturally significant sites and artifacts, and knowledge of the legal and administrative responsibility and procedures for management of physical cultural resources in client countries of the World Bank. A number of other lending and grant-making institutions concerned with investments for economic and social development share an interest in establishing effective methods for considering physical cultural resources in the process of identifying, preparing and implementing projects.

Proposal and Participants
