	Cultural Resources and Paleontology
		Significant paleontologic resources are fossils or assemblages of fossils, which are unique, unusual, rare, uncommon, diagnostically or stratigraphically important, and those which add to an existing body of knowledge in specific areas, stratigraphically, taxonomically, or regionally (Reynolds 1988).
		In the event that buried cultural resources are discovered during the course of project activities, construction operations shall immediately stop in the vicinity of the find and the City shall consult with the appropriate local, state, or federal entities and a qualified archaeologist to determine whether the resource requires further study.
		Cultural resources could consist of, but not be limited to, artifacts of stone, bone, wood, shell, or other materials, or features, including hearths, structural remains, or dumps.

		Cultural identity is made up of shared histories, cultural meanings and patterns of behavior that express who and what a cultural/social group is and what they have been through and value.
		The transnationalization of culture brought about by communication technologies, their reach, and their efficiently are better appreciated as part of the recomposition of urban cultures, along with the migrations and tourism that soften national borders and redefine the concepts of nation, people, and identity (Garcia-Canclini, 1995:10).
		Diasporic culture is this the product of the constantly configuring, never-ending and complex process which occurs when immigrant or otherwise displaced cultures selectively adapt to host cultures, intermixing and evolving to form a 'new' culture, a culture related to but distinct from both the original and host cultures.

	Cultural Resource Management Phases
		The identification, evaluation, and treatment of cultural resources is divided into three primary divisions or Phases for discussion and management purposes.
		Sites found not to be of scientific or cultural significance usually require only archaeological monitoring during development.

	Cultural Entomology by Dr Charles Hogue, Cultural Entomology Digest 1
		To the ancient Egyptians and neighboring cultures, various insects were revered; in particular, several species of dung scarab (Phaeniini, Coprini) rose in religious and symbolic importance early in history.
		A special significance is attached to lepidopterans (symbolized by the goddess Psyche) as signatures of the soul (and hence life after death, change, rebirth) and love.
		Their cultural importance relative to that of other life forms is not known, because comparative study has not yet been conducted.

	Newsletter 15.2 Summer 2000 (Conservation at the Getty)
		The protected cultural heritage is vast and diverse—archaeological relics and sites, cultural and vernacular landscapes, historic urban districts, industrial and technological artifacts, war battlefields, individual monuments and structures, works of art, and more.
		Developments in the conservation field over the past 20 years have produced a growing awareness of the need to undertake an assessment of values—often referred to as a "cultural significance assessment"—as an integral part of conservation projects and as a significant means of advancing the field.
		With little information available as to the options for and efficacy of assessment approaches, cultural significance is all too often deliberated by a small group of specialists, such as historians or archaeologists, rather than elucidated through transdisciplinary analysis and community consultation as part of conservation planning.

	Anti-modernism, modernism, and postmodernism: struggling with the cultural significance of new religious movements ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		A recurrent theme of these discussions is the response to "modernism," and the cultural significance of NRMs is contingent on their alignment, in whole or in part, with various perceived anti-modernist, modernist, and post-modernist tendencies in our societies.
		On the one hand, explicitly or implicitly, most scholars addressing the issue are still taking their cues from the pessimistic reading of the cultural significance of NRMs implied by the theoretical analyses of Peter Berger (1967) and Bryan Wilson (1982).
		On the other hand, there is a surprising dissatisfaction with the very use of the criterion of the acceptance or rejection of "modernity" (however that is defined), that stems from the views of Berger and Wilson (among others), to categorize and explain new religious phenomena in the contemporary world.

		Although many cultural traditions are disappearing with the rapidly changing social and physical environments, sacred groves often remain as valued elements of cultural heritage.
		And, as in many cultures of the region, in the Agni culture, someone who plants a tree in a field has sole rights to its produce and sole rights to the use of the land it stands on.

	The Cultural Significance of Roman Manumission
		What is most striking about manumission during the Republican period is the lack of either a standard mode of manumission or a body of law regulating the myriad forms that developed, especially when one considers the apparent frequency with which the Romans liberated their slaves.
		Roman Republican manumission as a cultural expression conforms to another anthropological interpretation; that is, manumission as a kind of rite of passage.
		The cultural significance of Roman Republican manumission was that, as a practice and an ideology, it was largely successful because it was based on mos maiorum first and only secondarily on ius.

	Terror of Neoliberalism: Rethinking the Significance of Cultural Politics, The College Literature - Find Articles (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Political culture is now global and resistance is amorphous, connecting students with workers, schoolteachers with parents, and intellectuals with artists.
		On the contrary, identity politics is affirmed within a broader crisis of political culture and democracy that connects the militarization of public life with the collapse of the welfare state and the attack on civil liberties.
		I want to expand the reaches of this debate by arguing that any struggle against neoliberalism must address the discourse of political agency, civic education, and cultural politics as part of a broader struggle over the relationship between democratization (the ongoing struggle for a substantive and inclusive democracy) and the global public sphere.

	Understanding Cultural Resources
		If cultural resources are identified, these must be properly recorded on official state forms, and a report must be written which describes how the survey was conducted with recommendations for further work, if needed.
		It cannot be stressed enough how important it is for the landowner or developer to complete the Phase I inventory stage as early as possible, and city and county planners are strongly urged to make this recommendation to their applicants.
		If cultural resources constraints for a project are known from the beginning, it is usually possible to redesign the project to avoid impacts to "important" cultural resources, resulting in great savings of both time and money.

	"Two Observations on the Cultural Significance of Baseball"
		Baseball is, to be sure, an American cultural declaration of independence, and written, as this book was, during the age of the Marshall Plan, there seems little reason for American institutions to take a back seat to Europe anymore.
		That is to say that baseball, for Barzun and others like him, functions as American culture's practical criticism, as the artform that tells us what is right and wrong, beautiful and ugly, good and bad about American cultural values and the dissent they generate.
		But baseball is not a game that simply emerged through the magic of American cultural virtues, which is all a merely allegorical reading of the sport would say, or at least the sorts of allegorical readings we have become accustomed to.

	Wetland Values & Functions: cultural values
		In Tibet certain lakes have deep religious significance for local populations and associated with this are strict regulations that determine exploitation of the lakes.
		This is a relatively poorly documented function of wetlands, yet there are many instances where wetlands have significant religious, historical, archaeological or other cultural values for local communities, representing a part of a nation’s heritage.
		Many other wetland sites around the world are of archaeological significance, such as the Stavns Fjord Ramsar site in Denmark which is widely known for the archaeological significance of the remains from the early settlers in the Bronze Age and constructions from the Viking era.
