If there are people here who deal with resource management, I'd like to ask you what do you consider to be the major questions/ difficulties/ problems that the cross between archeology and CRM is currently facing?
one of the difficulties of crm work is balancing your desire for research and the knowledge that the job isn't really all about research. One of my friends works for a large conglomerate corporation, and is struggling with how the material cultures are viewed and treated. To archaeologists, the past is something to research thoroughly, and to many companies that hire crm firms, its something to get out of the way. The fine line between archaeology and bulldozer archeology is getting mroe and more blurred as urban sprawl in creases along with tht epopulation.
