Heritage Resources and Known Geothermal Resources Areas (KGRAs) in Idaho: a Preliminary Report

As part of the preplanning phase of developnent of selected Known Geothermal Resources Areas (KGRAs) in Idaho, a review has been conducted of the cultural and natural heritage resource data relevant to those areas. There is clear evidence of both known and potential paleontological, archaeological, historic, and architectural resources within most of these KGRAs, but the area actually field surveyed within these is usually less than 10%. Thus, the relevant site records and background information are provided here for each of the selected KGRAs (Vulcan, Crane Creek, Castle Creek, Bruneau, Mountain Home), for construction of more thorough and reliable accumulations of data to be used for resource impact evaluation

Basic Principles of Archaeological Resource Management

Since its inception the Society for American Archaeology has been concerned about "encourag[ing] a rational public appreciation of the aims… of archaeological research," and aiding in the conservation of archaeological data. The Society has acted on these concerns by becoming involved in the development of legislation intending to regulate the management of the archaeological resource base. During the recent campaign to amend the National Historic Preservation Act, a statement of "Basic Principles of Archaeological Resource Management" was drafted and accepted by the SAA Executive Committee. This position paper was useful in developing new congressional guidelines for the National Historic Preservation Act Amendments of 1980 (P.L. 95-515), and will serve as a basis for evaluating future international, federal, state, and local legislation and management programs.</jats:p
