You think it can’t happen to you, but it can. One day, months into your construction project, your front end load operator runs into bones and wooden slats. Your county coroner says it is not a crime scene, and refers you to the local archaeology department. The archaeologist tells you that it is a very important discovery. Work stops. Archaeological discoveries happen all the time in the course of projects. Most are manageable, some are less so, and some are mismanaged, wasting time and money. If you are not prepared, the consequences can be disastrous. This book is for project engineers, project managers, construction managers, the staff of affected government agencies, and archaeological consultants. In its pages you receive enough information, enough archaeological perspective, to intelligently work with the various parties involved in your project and avoid an archaeological disaster.

Industry Reviews

"Everywhere archaeology is now part of the planning process and dealing with archaeological resources is one of the conditions to be managed in projects. This book is a successful attempt to provide guidance for project managers from around the world on how to deal with the risks and potential benefits of archaeology. Legal systems vary in different countries, but project development is similar everywhere and Stapp and Longenecker provide illuminating case studies and comparative overviews." Willem J.H. Willems, Dean of the Faculty of Archaeology, Leiden University; former State Archaeologist of The Netherlands.
