Dear Colleagues,
 
The Center for Cultural Site Preservation Technology has recently
produced a second monograph dealing with the subject of
archaeological significance, entitled: "Cultural Resource Significance
Evaluation: Proceedings of a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Workshop".
Copies of this publication are free while supplies last and can be ordered
by fax, e-mail or snail-mail via the contact address and numbers listed
below.
 
The abstract below summarizes the contents of this volume:
 
This publication consists of a set of papers from a Corps of Engineers
sponsored workshop on the subject of significance evaluation in cultural
resources management held 3-4 October at the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers Waterways Experiment Station, Vicksburg, MS.  The purpose
of the workshop was to solicit early input and advice on how best to
proceed with plans for the research program described in the lead paper
of these proceedings.  Before proceeding with a regional demonstration
model based on actual data from a Corps of Engineers District, it was
thought important to receive as much input as possible from the particular
perspective of those in the field who have been grappling with the legal
requirements of significance evaluation programs.  Progress towards
achieving the goals of the overall project is discussed in a lead paper
that also summarizes and comments on each workshop paper in view of
the results and input received from research results that have already
been presented in hard copy and on the WWW.
 
An electronic version of our earlier significance publication ("Trends and
Patterns in Cultural Resource Significance: An Historical Perspective and
Annotated Bibliography"), is available via the <Publications> section of
our CCSPT Home Page at the following address:
