McManamon Summary "The Smithsonian Institution's River Basin Surveys and the Interagency Archeological Salvage Program were the most ambitious archaeological projects ever undertaken in the United States. Administered by the National Park Service from 1945-1969, the programs had profound effects--methodological, theoretical, and historical--on American archaeology, many of which are still being felt today. They stimulated the public's interest in heritage preservation, led to the passage of the National Historic Preservation Act, served as the model for rescue archaeology in other countries, and helped launch the 'New Archaeology.' This book examines the impacts of these two programs on the development of American archaeology"-- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes English Print version record Subject River Basin Surveys -- History Interagency Archeological Salvage Program (U.S.) -- History SUBJECT Interagency Archeological Salvage Program (U.S.) fast River Basin Surveys fast Subject Archaeology -- United States -- History -- 20th century Salvage archaeology -- United States -- History -- 20th century Archaeological surveying -- United States -- History -- 20th century Archaeology and state -- United States -- History -- 20th century Historic preservation -- United States -- History -- 20th century Dams -- United States -- Design and construction -- History -- 20th century Dams -- Environmental aspects -- United States -- History -- 20th century SOCIAL SCIENCE -- Archaeology.
