    "title": "Will the Real Archeology Please Stand Up? Comments on the Status of American Archeology, ca AD 1982",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "In this critical reflection, W. James Judge explores the complex state of American prehistoric archaeology in the early 1980s, highlighting its evolution from artifact-centered collection to a scientifically grounded investigation of cultural processes. Judge examines the methodological shift toward processual archaeology, the field's increasing alignment with natural sciences, and the challenges of integrating this scientific identity within a policy and administrative framework that often categorizes archaeology as a branch of historic preservation. He critiques the effects of Cultural Resource Management (CRM) mandates, legal frameworks such as the Antiquities Act and ARPA, and shifting public expectations on the integrity and goals of archaeological research. Emphasizing communication failures, professional identity crises, and the tensions between preservation and practicality, Judge calls for a reinvigorated conservation ethic, interdisciplinary collaboration, and clearer articulation of archaeology's value to both policymakers and the public.",
