Book Description
This study compares the cultural resource management systems of two nations; the United States and England. The purpose of the study is to determine if any methods used in one nation could be implemented in the other to better recognize and preserve historic and archaeological resources. To compare the two systems, four variables were chosen: the step-by-step process that developers follow in order to evaluate possible impacts on the cultural environment, who is responsible for taking historic properties into account, the role of the National Register/Schedule of Ancient Monuments, and the role of non-profit organizations. The recommendations made include wider consultation requirements for developers in England and an increased role non-profit organization, especially at the local level, in the United States.
