Public Archaeology is about engaging the public at all levels in order to share archaeological findings and promote stewardship of cultural resources so that the public can appreciate and construct their own past. The course covers American Historic Preservation history and legislation, NAGPRA, Cultural Resources Management, heritage conservation and planning, Section 106 and ARPA permitting, tribal and public consultation, evaluation and mitigation of archaeological resources, National Register Procedures, and archaeological interpretation and education for the public.
