The Smithsonian Institution's River Basin Surveys and the Interagency Archeological Salvage Program were the most ambitious archaeological projects ever undertaken in the United States. Administered by the National Park Service from 1945-1969, the programs had profound effects--methodological, theoretical, and historical--on American archaeology, many of which are still being felt today. They stimulated the public's interest in heritage preservation, led to the passage of the National Historic Preservation Act, served as the model for rescue archaeology in other countries, and helped launch the "New Archaeology." This book examines the impacts of these two programs on the development of American archaeology.

Kimball M. Banks earned his Ph.D. from Southern Methodist University. He has spent most of his career in Federal service, first with the Bureau of Indian Affairs and then the Bureau of Reclamation. He has conducted fieldwork in the American Southwest, Southeast, Northern Plains, Texas, California, and in Egypt. While with the Bureau of Reclamation, he administered investigations at the Angostura Site, the McKean site and other sites that the River Basin Surveys and Interagency Archeological Survey Program investigated, which stimulated his interest in the history of the River Basin Surveys. He currently manages the Regional Office of Metcalf Archaeological Consultants, Inc. in Bismarck, North Dakota. Jon Czaplicki has been an archaeologist in the Bureau of Reclamation's Phoenix Area Office for 24 years. Prior to coming to Reclamation he was a Project Director at the Arizona State Museum's Cultural Resource Management Division for 12 years. He received his BA with Honors (1970) and MA (1971) from the University of Arizona. He's active in the Society for American Archaeology serving on the Public Education Committee from 1995 to 2001, during which time he was Chair for the Subcommittee for Native American Education. He was on the SAA Board from 2001-2003 and chaired Media Relations Committee from 2006-2013.
