Because the register''s eligibility criteria were largely developed for standing sites, it is difficult to know in any particular case whether a site known primarily through archaeological work has sufficient historical significance to be listed. Hardesty and Little address these challenges, describing how to file for NRHP eligibility and how to determine the historical significance of archaeological properties. This second edition brings everything up to date, and includes new material on 17th- and 18th-century sites, traditional cultural properties, shipwrecks, Japanese internment camps, and military properties.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne of the most important decisions a cultural resource manager can make involves assessing site significance—a decision that often determines, at least in the US federal preservation system, if a site merits further consideration as a historic property. In the second edition of this important book, veteran preservationists Don Hardesty and Barbara Little offer an updated primer on the complex process of determining significance, especially for sites occupied in the relatively recent past. The authors discuss the role and history of significance in the preservation process, and present compelling case studies. A must-read for the 21st-century preservationist! -- Julia King, St. Mary's College of Maryland\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface Preface to the Second Edition  Part One: Approaches to Assessing Significance Chapter 1.
