ArchaeoCafé - Episode 22 - Cultural Resource Management in Canada: A round table discussion (Part 2)

In this episode, I continue my discussion with archaeologists from across Canada to talk about cultural resource management (CRM) in Canada. In the final part of our discussion we consider the following questions.

• What are the current issues affecting the CRM industry in Canada?
• How has the industry changed in recent decades?
• How is collections management handled in CRM? What is done with all of the artefacts collected during CRM projects and who pays for it?

Episode notes are available on the ArchaeoCafé website.
