The Guru of Section 106 has just compiled a book of essays that every CRM professional, archeologist, anthropologist, historic preservationist, environmentalist (have I covered all the pertinent “ists”?), and Native Americans concerned with preserving, protecting, and managing historic properties should read. There is even a nifty glossary of terms for those readers who may not be familiar with the compliance lingo that goes along with Section 106, the National Environmental Protection Act, the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act, and the whole host of other federal laws related to historic preservation.

We have been fortunate over the last few years to work alongside Native Americans in conducting cultural resource management activities. These experiences have helped us appreciate the importance of cultural resources to the Indian people. We are convinced that Native Americans must be directly involved in cultural resource management activities for two main reasons: they understand the cultural resources in ways that non-Indians probably never can, and because these sites are an integral part of their past, present, and future, they care more about them than non-Indians do. Thus, if the resources are to be protected and made available to future generations of Native Americans, Native Americans must take an active role in managing the resources.

The articles presented in this volume were prepared for the 1997 Society for Applied Anthropology Meetings held in Seattle, Washington. The purpose of the session was to convey what is happening in the world of cultural resource management in Indian country today. There is a change underway, due primarily to the direct involvement of Native Americans in cultural resource management. The field is changing from viewing cultural resources as sources of scientific information to understanding cultural resources as important parts of indigenous cultural systems.

This book provides a radical rethinking of the relationships between teaching, researching, digging, and practicing as an archaeologist in the twenty-first century. The issues addressed here are global and are applicable wherever archaeology is taught, practiced, and researched. In short, this book is applicable to everyone from academia to cultural resource management (CRM), from heritage professional to undergraduate student. At its heart, it addresses the undervaluation of teaching, demonstrating that this affects the fundamentals of contemporary archaeological practice, and is particularly connected to the lack of diversity in disciplinary demographics. It proposes a solution which is grounded in a theoretical rethinking of our teaching, training, and practice. Drawing upon the insights from archaeology’s current material turn, and particularly Deleuze and Guattari’s concept of assemblages, this volume turns the discipline of archaeology into the subject of investigation, considering the relationships between teaching, practice, and research. It offers a new perspective which prompts a rethinking of our expectations and values with regard to teaching, training, and doing archaeology, and ultimately argues that we are all constantly becoming archaeologists.
