Opis

This text offers professionals within the field of cultural resource management (CRM) practical advice on dealing with traditional cultural properties (TCPs). Responsible for coining the term to describe places of community-based cultural importance, Thomas King now revists this subject to instruct readers in TCP site identification, documentation and management. He identifies common issues of contention and methods of resolving them through consultation and other means. Through the extensive use of examples, from urban ghettos to Polynesian ponds to Mount Shasta, TCPS are shown not to be limited simply to American Indian burial and religious sites, but include a wide array of valued locations and landscapes in the US and worldwide.
