The program will cover a wide range of subjects important to the functioning of archaeology in New York State, including the recession’s effects on private sector and public sector Cultural Resource Management (CRM), academic programs and the training of archaeologists, challenges to museums and the practice of archaeology, and archaeological considerations within the current dynamics of environmental regulatory review.
