Preserving Louisiana's Legacy

Louisiana has some of the most important sites in the United States. In

fact, one prehistoric archaeological site, Poverty Point in West Carroll

Parish, has been suggested for nomination to the World Heritage List.

This program, in which 45 nations participate, recognizes areas of outstanding universal value to mankind.

I am proud to live in a state with such a rich archaeological heritage,

and I hope that it can be protected for future generations. However, no

one individual or group working alone can preserve Louisiana’s legacy.

Only through the concerted efforts of government, industry, business, and

individuals can this be accomplished. This volume suggests what you can

do to preserve Louisiana’s archaeological sites. I hope you enjoy this

book.


Sincerely,

Rob DeBlieux
