cultural resource management

Cultural resource management = another "buzz" word for a government paying hack job. Ivor Hume being the ideal archeologist with a true heartfelt interest.

Very Practical

This is an interesting and very practical book. The language and exercises are to the point, easy to understand without being condescending. The 21 exercises and 5 appendices cover a broad spectrum of subjects. Each section has an annotated bibliography unique to its subject matter, this alone is worth the price of the book. The pictures and diagrams are practical and helpful. This isn't the book for a theory class or general reading, but for a student of public history or archeology intending to or already working in cultural resource management, this is a very handy, concise and practical book. I picked up the book specifically for the material in several chapters, but found them all informative. I would recommend this for anyone in or intending to be in cultural resource management.
