Eric Mills Bio:

Eric Mills (Arkansas Historic Preservation Program Archeologist and Section 106 Program Manager) – With more than 15 years’ experience working in the state, Eric has served as the cultural resource manager for the Arkansas State Military Department, in various capacities as a consultant with Terracon and Flat Earth Archeology, and as an archeologist and the Section 106 program manager for the Arkansas Historic Preservation Program.

Abstract:

This address presents the archeological record in a context that includes material culture and other evidence of human activity in addition to the records of archeology such as site forms and reports. Much like the aggregation of data from the field informs our local interpretation, the associated records also support the Section 106 review process that requires federal agencies to consider the effects of their actions on historic properties. Professional archeologists and non-professionals alike, play an essential role by capturing information so that others may gain a better understanding of their findings. It is the relevance of all the players and the utility of their work that this talk seeks to highlight.
