Archaeology Southwest Magazine Vol. 34, Nos. 2 & 3

Issue editor: Stacy L. Ryan

This double issue explores the hows and whys of ending and responding to archaeological resource crime (ARC) on Tribal lands. We are particularly honored to share the perspectives of members of seven different Tribes, some of whom are Tribal cultural resource managers. All speak to the very real toll ARC takes on Tribal communities.
