Alas, I'm old enough to remember this.  It came along in the 1970s,
after the passage of NHPA (1966), NEPA (1974), and, especially, in
1974, the Moss-Bennett bill, with the immediate explosion of work in
archaeology following the passage of that enabling legislation.  I
don't recall any specific source that introduced the term cultural
resources management, nor do I recall using this term much in the
mid-1970s, but I certainly do remember it as a term that saw increasing
use later in the 1970s and into the 1980s as the industry, so to speak,
grew and matured.
