Cultural Resource Management (CRM), and by extension rescue or salvage archaeology is by-far the largest branch of archaeology. CRM focuses on the preservation of Cultural Resources and heritage sites by ensuring development activities do not interfere with or damage archaeological or other culturally significant resources. This can be accomplished through several forms of archaeological survey ranging from basic visual surveys of a particular landscape or more extensive and standardized test excavations. CRM archaeologists ensure commercial developers, government agencies and contractors, and other public entities are in compliance with the nation’s cultural resources and heritage protection laws like the Native American Graves and Repatriation Act and Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act.
