Description

Land managers are becoming increasingly aware that cultural resources are a fragile and nonrenewable part of the environment that must be protected. Legislation has been enacted at the Federal and State levels to protect these resources. There is potential for conflicts between the goals of fire management programs and cultural preservation programs because fire may damage the resources and suppression may do even greater damage. Archeological surveys and collaboration between archeologists and the fire management team can mitigate this damage.
