ACTION STRATEGIES AND ENVIRONMENTAL VALUES-HISTORIC AND PREHISTORIC VALUES
HISTORIC AND PREHISTORIC SITES ARE REQUIRED TO BE EVALUATED IN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENTS WHICH MUST BE SUBMITTED BEFORE CONSTRUCTION OF FEDERAL-AID HIGHWAYS. SITES IN THE NATIONAL REGISTER RECEIVE PRIME CONSIDERATION AND THE EVALUATION OF SITES FOR INCLUSION IN THE REGISTER IS DISCUSSED. THE HIGHWAY SALVAGE PROGRAM MAKES IT POSSIBLE FOR DATA TO BE COLLECTED BY EXCAVATION EVEN WHEN THE CONSTRUCTION DOES NOT MAKE IT POSSIBLE TO PRESERVE THE SITE. EARLY PREPARATION OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT AND THE GATHERING OF INFORMATION FROM KNOWLEDGEABLE SOURCES WILL AVOID LAST-MINUTE OBJECTIONS AND AID IN THE PRESERVATION OF SITES. THE STATE'S LIASON OFFICER APPOINTED BY THE NATIONAL HISTORIC PRESERVATION ACT, HAS CHANNELS OF COMMUNICATION ALREADY SET UP AND WILL BE ABLE TO PROVIDE MUCH HELP. INFORMATION ABOUT SITES MAY ALSO BE OBTAINED FROM THE STATE ARCHAEOLOGIST (WHO IS A MEMBER OF THE SOCIETY FOR AMERICAN ARCHAEOLOGY) OR LOCAL HISTORICAL SOCIETIES. A BOOK WHICH SUMMARIZES ARCHAEOLOGICAL PROGRAMS IN EACH STATE, AND THE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS CONCERNING PROTECTION OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES, IS RECOMMENDED.
