The Final Report of the National Reservoir Inundation Study, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint): Summary: Summary (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
The Final Report of the National Reservoir Inundation Study, Vol. 1: Summary examines how dam projects threaten buried artifacts and what conservation teams can do to protect them. It presents practical guidance on choosing mitigation options, balancing preservation with research needs, and coordinating with engineers and hydrologists.
The book frames a clear process for planning and executing mitigation around reservoir dynamics. It covers how to design research plans, select sites for sampling, and preserve or relocate archeological resources in the face of inundation. Readers will also see how environmental factors, such as sediment chemistry and phosphorus behavior, can affect prehistoric contexts and interpretation.
- How mitigation decisions are made between avoidance, protection, and excavation
- A step-by-step approach to planning mitigation with reservoir scientists
- Methods for sampling and preserving archeological resources in impounded areas
- Considerations for site relocation, impact prevention, and post-inundation interpretation
Ideal for researchers, planners, and students involved in cultural resource management, reservoir design, and environmental impact assessment.

The Final Report of the National Reservoir Inundation Study, Vol. 1: Summary
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a broad and concise study of the impact that constructing and flooding reservoirs has on archaeological sites. The study's conclusions challenge traditional approaches to mitigating impacts to archaeological resources that have detrimental consequences. By combining both underwater archaeology and laboratory experiments, the author demonstrates that while all archaeological values are indeed impacted, they're differentially impacted. The book posits that site protection and preservation are, in fact, viable alternatives to excavation and may often be more cost effective. The author contends that standard salvage approaches can be improved, and that archaeological preservation should be integrated early into the construction process. This book will be of great value to archaeology professionals, reservoir planners, and resource managers who wish to understand better the impacts of reservoir construction on archaeological resources to develop better strategies for mitigating adverse effects. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780428089603_0
