摘要:Although the history of state-sponsored historic preservation in Georgia goes back to the Historical
Commission in the 1950s, the Office of the State Archaeologist resided at a university campus
until 1998 and received only minimal funding. With the development of the State Historic
Preservation Officer (SHPO) office within the Historical Commission¡¯s successor, the Department of
Natural Resources (DNR) Historic Preservation Section (later Division), archaeology received marginally
more attention, especially with the hiring of a National Register archaeologist and later a Section 106
review archaeologist. In the late 1990s, State Archaeologist Lewis Larson retired, the Office of the State
Archaeologist (OSA) was brought into the DNR, and the junior author was hired to replace Larson.
Through the support of the state¡¯s archaeological community, funding was acquired for a small statewide
program (http://hpd.dnr.state.ga.us/content/displaynavigation.asp?TopCategory=76). For the first
several years of its existence, the new program was oriented almost entirely to addressing terrestrial site
management concerns.
