Summary

Chris Webster is a cultural resource management archeologist. That means when the National Registry of Historic Places is thinking about adding a mining town, Spanish mission, or Native American burial site to its list, it calls in Chris.

He also has to figure out what's worth preserving and what isn't. The choice usually isn't easy.
