HISTORIC PRESERVATION

Why do we save old buildings and places?
Which get saved? Which don’t? Why?
Who decides?
When did this start?
What’s the process?
What’s the connection with archaeology?

Anth 490A in Fall ’26 will address these questions and more with a particular focus on the historic preservation “process” in Los Angeles (city/county).

Useful for anyone pondering a career in this or allied fields.
