Credits - Archeology and Wilderness

Planning for the Cultural Resources and Wilderness module of RM - 28A: Archeology began in 2013. It responds to a need for technical guidance identified in Keeping it Wild in the National Park Service, and elaborates and supports the Wilderness Stewardship Plan Handbook, as well as other policies and guidance. This document complements Cultural Resources in Wilderness: Guidance for Considering and Managing Cultural Resources as Other Features of Value Appendix A - Cultural Resources in Wilderness: Applying the Secretary of the Interior's Standards and Other Guidance, posted on the Wilderness Program website (in Winter 2017).

Karen Mudar developed and wrote this chapter, with the assistance of subject matter experts: Mark Calamia, Kayci Cook, Jill Cowley, Eileen Devinney, Sandra Dingman, Mike Evans, Ann Hitchcock, Barbara Judy, Jeremy Karchut, Laura Kirn, Rachel Mason, Jeff Rasic, Laura Schuster, Joe Watkins, Jacilee Wray, and Pei Lin Yu.

The chapter was approved by Associate Director Stephanie Toothman and Deputy Associate Director Sande McDermott.
