The document defines cultural resources as physical evidence of past human activity, including historic-era resources over 50 years old, military resources, and American Indian (Prehistoric) resources dating back up to 12,000 years. Key instructional points include: do not pick up or disturb items at archaeological sites, recognize that EAFB sites are federally protected, and understand that the Environmental Management Group works with security to enforce cultural resource protection. The document lists relevant protective laws such as the Archaeological Resources Protection Act, Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act, and National Historic Preservation Act.

The Environmental Management Group works closely with security to enforce Cultural Resources protection, including cameras near archaeological sites.

A Cultural resources can be defined as physical evidence or place of past human activity: site, object, landscape, structure; or a site, structure, landscape, object or natural feature of significance to a group of people traditionally associated with it (https://www.nps.gov/acad/learn/management/rm_culturalresources.htm)

At EAFB cultural resources include historic-era resources (typically more than 50 years old), military resources (related to the historic and modern military use of the area), and American Indian resources (generally called Prehistoric resources). Some of these resources as much as 12,000 years old

It is our goal to protect these resources because once they are gone we cannot ever get them back.
