Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Overview of the Prehistoric Resources of the Metropolitan St. Louis Area A second management tool is existing legislation designed to protect cultural resources. Federal laws such as the National Historic Pre servation Act of 1966, the National Environ mental Policy Act, Executive Order 11593 and the Archaeological and Historic Preservation Act clearly establish a national policy of concern and action on behalf of evaluating and preserving cultural, historical, and archaeological resources. The application of these laws to all relevant situations will go far in assuring there is a cultural resource base left to manage. The third management tool is planning. Effective archaeological, resource management can only be accomplished through regional planning efforts. Planning involves initially developing a general overview of the archaeology of a region for identifying important resources and the factors affecting them. Following the overview study, planning efforts should focus on developing an integrated program involving data collection, plan (and alternative plan) form'ula tion, and implementation.
