Inhaltsangabe

The Final Report of the National Reservoir Inundation Study, Vol. 1: Summary examines how dam projects threaten buried artifacts and what conservation teams can do to protect them. It presents practical guidance on choosing mitigation options, balancing preservation with research needs, and coordinating with engineers and hydrologists.

The book frames a clear process for planning and executing mitigation around reservoir dynamics. It covers how to design research plans, select sites for sampling, and preserve or relocate archeological resources in the face of inundation. Readers will also see how environmental factors, such as sediment chemistry and phosphorus behavior, can affect prehistoric contexts and interpretation.


  • How mitigation decisions are made between avoidance, protection, and excavation

  • A step-by-step approach to planning mitigation with reservoir scientists

  • Methods for sampling and preserving archeological resources in impounded areas

  • Considerations for site relocation, impact prevention, and post-inundation interpretation



Ideal for researchers, planners, and students involved in cultural resource management, reservoir design, and environmental impact assessment.
