Cultural Resources
Updated
01/16/2008
Cultural Resources are evidence of past human activity. These may include
pioneer homes, buildings or old roads; structures with unique architecture;
prehistoric village sites; historic or prehistoric artifacts or objects; rock
inscription; human burial sites; earthworks; such as battlefield entrenchments,
prehistoric canals, or mounds. These nonrenewable resources often yield
unique information about past societies and environments, and provide answers
for modern day social and conservation problems. Although many have been
discovered and protected, there are numerous forgotten, undiscovered, or
unprotected cultural resources in rural America.
