Assessing Site Significance A Guide for Archaeologists and Historians

Hardesty and Little provide the most up-to-date guide for assessing the historical significance of archaeological sites that may be eligible to be listed in the National Register of Historic Places. In this second edition, all laws, regulations, and references have been entirely updated. New material on landfills, Japanese interment camps, landscapes, and military properties has been added, along with special case studies on 17th- and 18th-century historical sites and additional chapters on heritage tourism, traditional cultural places, and shipwrecks.

Donald L. Hardesty is a professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Nevada, Reno. Barbara J. Little is an archaeologist with the National Park Service in Washington, D.C. and an adjunct professor of anthropology at the University of Maryland, College Park.
