McManamon;ReviewsThis volume deals with efforts to mitigate the impact on historic resources by the Flood Control Act of 1944, which resulted in the construction of more than 500 dams and reservoir areas in 43 states, and hundreds of miles of levees. Salvage archaeology was conducted to secure minimal information from historic resources destroyed during the project; the National Park Service supervised the Interagency Archaeological and Paleontological Salvage Program (1945-75). That program transferred survey and salvage funds to the Smithsonian Institution, which oversaw the River Basin Surveys (1945-69).

This work is seen as ancestral to today's cultural resource management programs. ... Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students/faculty/professionals.
