Abstract
Excerpt - Archeology in the Americas is entering a new era in which the attitudes of both archeologists and the public toward archeological sites must be refined. Archeologic.al resources are being destroyed at an alarming rate and could well be largely eliminated if nothing is done to stem the waves of destruction. Archeolog sts are in the same position as environmentalists of 30 years ago, who realized that the country's water, soil, and air were being polluted at an alarming rate. The red flags are up for archeology. Preservation methods that affect the roots of the problem, justification of archeology, public education, and new funding sources must be developed.
