The Physical Treatment of Cultural and Historic Resources: Guidelines for Rehabiliating Designed Historic Landscapes
Peters CC. 1990. The Physical Treatment of Cultural and Historic Resources: Guidelines for Rehabiliating Designed Historic Landscapes. Cultural Landscape - Miscellaneous. National Park Service
This thesis is a response to the inconsistent interpretation of the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Archeology and Historic Preservation as applied to historic landscape resources; and, to the 1987 National Park Service call for professional comment and input regarding the existing preservation philosophy and technical guidance offered by the federal government as it applies to these resource types. The thesis specifically addresses the unique issues presented in the rehabilitation treatment of designed historic landscapes, a resource type defined by the National Park Service. And, in particular, focuses on the applicability of the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Archeology and Historic Preservation: Standards for Historic Preservation Projects. Although the scope of the thesis addresses broad based philosophies and a significant portion of the existing federal document, the most detailed recommendations regarding the physical treatment of landscape resources is limited to one resource type, designed historic landscapes, and to one specific physical treatment, rehabilitation.
