Summary

The National Park Service's National Historic Landmarks (NHL) Program plays a major role in preserving nationally significant cultural resources. National Historic Landmark designation increases public awareness of archaeology by highlighting the importance of the most significant prehistoric and historic archaeological resources. By disseminating information on threats to archaeological NHL's, the program draws attention to the worst problems confronting the finest sites. By sponsoring study of nationally significant archaeological resources, the NHL Program helps citizens better understand the past. And by increasing the number of archaeological NHLS, the Program publicizes the benefits and limitations of current laws and statutes meant to protect U.S. archaeological heritage. This publication explains the NHL Program; the process by which NHLS are identified, nominated, and designated; defines the major issues involving NHL prehistoric and historic archaeological resources; and shows how the NHL Program can help to meet the challenge confronting the national archaeological heritage. Several photographs of NHL sites are included. (Author/DB)
