The Arizona Site Stewards Program is an organization of volunteers, sponsored by the public land managers of Arizona, whose members are selected, trained and certified by the State Historic Preservation Office and the Governor's Archaeology Advisory Commission. The chief objective of the Stewards Program is to report to the land managers destruction or vandalism of prehistoric and historic archaeological and paleontological sites in Arizona through site monitoring. Stewards are also active in public education and outreach activities.
Purpose of the Stewards Program
Site Stewards work toward the following goals:
To preserve major prehistoric, historic and paleontological resources for the purposes of conservation, scientific study, and interpretation.
To increase public awareness of the significance and value of cultural resources and the damage done by artifact
hunters.
To discourage site vandalism and the sale and trade of antiquities.
To support the adoption and enforcement of national, state, and local preservation laws and regulations.
To support and encourage high standards of cultural resource investigation throughout the state.
To promote better understanding and cooperation among agencies, organizations, and individuals concerned about the preservation of cultural resources.
To enhance the completeness of the statewide archaeological and paleontological inventory.
Site Stewards Training
Volunteer training involves 10 hours of classroom instruction and fieldwork. The training sessions include antiquity laws, crime scene management, site and feature identification, and map reading. The program seeks volunteers with strong interests in cultural resource conservation who like the outdoors.
