Heritage Resources
Purpose of the Heritage Program:
To protect significant heritage resources, to share their values with the American people, and to contribute relevant information and perspectives to natural resource management. In so doing we will:
- Ensure that future generations will have an opportunity to discover the human story etched on the landscapes of the Daniel Boone National Forest
- Make the past come alive as a vibrant part of our recreational experiences and community life; and
- Connect people to the land in a way that will help us better understand and manage forest ecosystems.
Forests, Forest Fires, and Their Makers: The Story of Cliff Palace Pond
by Paul A. Delcourt, Hazel R. Delcourt, Cecil R. Ison, William E. Sharp, and A. Gwynn Henderson
This publication documents how two sciences, archaeology and paleoecology, came together in a research project that confirmed archaeologists' ideas about the changing land use patterns of the First Americans along the western edge of the Appalachian Mountains.
Soil core studies from this site on the Daniel Boone National Forest show how American Indians used fire to manage the environment for over 3,000 years. This understanding of ancient practices will help guide forest management for the future.
