My position here in Delaware as first implemented to develop cultural resources management plans for state parks using historic preservation fund grant money. As the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control's land managing divisions - State Parks and Fish and Wildlife in particular - came to increasingly rely on federal funds for land purchases and facilities development, the archaeologist was tasked with Section 106 compliance, undertaking small studies and managing the work of consultants. Some programmatic agreements were developed requiring the department to continue to maintain qualified staff, and at one time there were a number of archaeologists employed here undertaking research and resources management as well as compliance work. I do a wide-range of things including a lot of public programming/educational outreach in addition to compliance, research, and resources management work.

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.

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!
