Abstract
Parks and Protected Areas across the globe offer numerous opportunities for tourism. In the United States, the one-hundred year history of the National Park Service (NPS) is responsible for many of these resources. Within these parks we find thousands of archaeological and cultural resources. While the more popular and well known sites are protected, thousands of smaller, lesser known sites are not. The management and protection of these valuable assets is imperative to insure these smaller, yet significant archaeological sites are preserved in our history. The challenge facing managers is how to do this with limited funds and staffing. This chapter offers guidelines for the protection of archaeological sites in parks and protected areas using a team of trained volunteer stewards.
