"Managing Archaeological and Traditional Cultural Resources"
Approaches to the preservation and management of a range of First

response to significant changes in approaches to public values and
attitudes. In this course, you examine resource management concepts
as they apply to a range of archaeological sites, resources and
practices, with particular emphasis on:
- the nature of archaeological and cultural resources including
sacred and burial sites, traditional use sites, culturally modified
trees and ethnological objects
- impacts of changing values and attitudes on resource management
and land use decision-making
- legislation which governs archaeological and heritage resources
and controls exploitation and preservation
- legal, ethical, preservation, access, ownership, and repatriation
issues
- approaches to the stewardship of First Nations' cultural
heritage resources
- control of field investigations on aboriginal sites
- inventory and mapping using GIS
