	abstract = {Lately some prominent members of the discipline have criticized applied
archaeology, especially its research standards and low productivity of new knowl-
edge relevant to the interests of academics. More serious, however, has been the
entire descipline{\textquoteright}s inability to show concretely the effectiveness of its methods and
the importance of its goals to government and industry. This dilemma seems
resolvable by turning the first problem around to address the second. That is,
archaeologists need to concentrate on how to better manage the resource base and
how to improve the attendant research, be it applied or academic in nature. Such
a change in focus requires a fundamental reorientation. Good impact assessment
or mitigation work must provide information for resource management decision-
making and scientific explanation. Ecology, undergoing many of the same diffi-
culties and adjustments as archaeology, is beginning to reconcile its management
and scientific responsibilities by concentrating on how better research can con-
tribute to improved impact assessments and environmental management. We
would do well to consider ecology{\textquoteright}s findings. For it is time for archaeology to
likewise improve its management and scientific services to the public, rather than
continue to use applied research activities only as opportunities to serve itself
within a narrow, academic view of the discipline.},
