An interesting question, but at the risk of stepping on John's research, I would also like to know about the benefits of having a state parks staff archaeologist in terms of park enhancement and maintaining good relations with other state (e.g. SHPO) and federal (e.g. Federal Highway Administration) agencies.

Subject: Archaeologists in State Parks?

Not a strictly historical archaeology query, but -

I was asked by someone in our management how many other state parks or departments of natural resources agencies have staff archaeologists.  I know of a few from my travels over the years, but some of that information would be rather dated at this point.

Does your state have such staff? Or used to?

Thanks!
John
