DESCRIPTION

Cultural resource management (CRM) is the practice of managing and preserving cultural resources through the use of archaeological methods of survey, data collection, excavation, laboratory analysis and curation of cultural materials (artifacts), monitoring sensitive sites and public outreach. CRM archaeologists work with state and federal agencies, museums, and with private firms to ensure compliance with federal and state laws that protect cultural resources on federal and public land. The program is designed to prepare students by teaching them the skills required to obtain employment as entrylevel archaeological technicians working in the field, in labs, and for museums.
