Building a Framework for Research: Delaware\u27s Management Plan for Historical Archaeological Resources

In 1990 the authors completed a Management Plan for Delaware\u27s Historical Archaeological Resources. This article outlines the Management Plan\u27s objectives and components, and presents the core of the research program for historical archaeology developed in the Plan. The Delaware Plan may suggest ideas to histroical archaeologists developing plans for other states, provinces, counties, and even cities or other municipalities. At the same time, Delaware historical archaeology can benefit from the responses to this Plan offered by our colleagues across the Northeast and beyond
