Abstract

Using current examples of regional archaeological resource management efforts on the part of various government agencies, this paper attempts: (1) to present a synthetic review of both research and management requirements; (2) to identify (if any) points or nodes of complementarity, overlap or contradiction between such requirements; (3) to delineate the basic constituents of what might be an integrative research and management approach; and, finally, (4), to arrive to a realistic answer to the question posed in the title.
