Abstract

Providing for the long term care of and access to archaeological collections is a multifaceted area of concern. One particularly problematic class of collections are those materials resulting from research projects on federal lands conducted before long-term curation concerns were given much consideration. These collections may have enormous research potential but how to provide for their curation is not clear. We argue, using the Cedar Mesa Collection as a case in point, that such collections should be stimulating discussion about federal agency policies regarding the role of archaeological research and research collections in federal cultural resource management responsibilities.
