CULTURAL RESOURCES

Cultural Preservation 

The Assawompsett-Nemasket Band of Wampanoags (ANBOW) is committed to protecting cultural heritage, as it is one of the central features that define our human existence. While most people envision archaeology purely as ancient artifacts buried beneath deep layers of earth, archaeology also encompasses historical components. The term cultural resource includes both prehistoric and historic contexts as well as Traditional Cultural Properties. Our department is dedicated to identifying, preserving, protecting, and understanding our collective past.
