The Preliminary Report of the National Reservoir Inundation Study
Lenihan DJ, Carrell TL, Hopkins TS, Prokopetz AW, Rayl SL, Tarasovic CS. 1977. The Preliminary Report of the National Reservoir Inundation Study. Washington, D.C.
This report stems from an initial cooperative effort of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, the U.S. Soil Conservation Service, and the National Park Service to find practical and demonstrable solutions, at the field level, to commonly shared problems faced by field managers in the conservation management of inundated cultural resources. During the past decade, a great deal of emphasis has been placed at the Federal level on inventorying, evaluating, and salvaging threatened archaeological resources. The land managing agencies have come to realize that this is but a part of the large program of the management of these resources. This multi-agency study seeks to answer the question, "How should we manage the long-term preservation of inundated archaeological resources?"
