You Can Help Preserve Our
Archaeological Heritage!

The Iowa Archeological Society is planning to institute a Site Stewardship Program. Site stewards
would play an important role in educating the public about the fragile nature of archaeological sites
and help prevent damage to archeological resources.
Site Stewards may participate in a variety of activities that include recording archaeological sites,
documenting environmental and human damage to sites, and actively assisting with long-term pres-
ervation programs. Most importantly, stewards act as informal liaisons between the public and the
archaeological community. Simply knowing someone who is a site steward may affect the way that
other people think about and treat archaeological materials. A site steward can offer a local perspec-
tive on resource management within communities.
Can you see yourself helping to record archaeological sites or partnering with someone to protect
