About this file

This document is a Cultural Resources Awareness Training handout for Edwards Air Force Base (EAFB), focused on protecting archaeological and historical sites. 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 up to 12,000 years old. The training emphasizes strict protection protocols, such as not disturbing or removing items from archaeological sites, and highlights relevant federal laws protecting cultural resources, including the Archaeological Resources Protection Act and Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act. The handout includes visual examples of archaeological artifacts like stone tools, bottles, and a military identification tag, and warns that unauthorized digging, damaging, or removing items from these sites is unlawful, with the Environmental Management Group working closely with security to enforce these protections.

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.
