 Archaeological remains and historic structures and landscapes are important tangible reminders of this nation's rich and diverse cultural heritage. This report takes the unusual step of focusing on the applications of preservation technologies rather than preservation disciplines. It examines the current use of preservation technologies and identifies research and development needs. It also explores how improvements in federal policy and implementation can facilitate the more effective use of technologies appropriate for managing this country's prehistoric and historic cultural resources.

 $IThe strength of this report is that it illuminates technologies from very diverse fields and explains their application to preservation projects. Public historians will find this report useful in planning interpretive phases of preservation projects. Additionally, the information sources identified and discussed can expand the historical researcher's usual data pool and thus enable a fuller understanding$I $Iof a project's historical relevance$I. -- John A. Maseman, $ITHE PUBLIC HISTORIAN$I, Summer 1991.
