The U.S. International Boundary and Water Commission (USIBWC) has recently published a book titled "New Deal Archaeology in the West," which explores the archaeological and cultural heritage projects funded during President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal. The book focuses on previously untold stories of archaeological work in the American West and its impact on the discipline. Mark Howe, the USIBWC Cultural Resources Specialist, has also been speaking at conferences on topics related to archaeology, history, and geography. Additionally, the USIBWC is involved in a historical project with the National Park Service on the Fort Brown site, and they have collaborated with local organizations for restoration efforts and historical information. For more information, patrons can contact Mark L. Howe, the Cultural Resources Specialist at the USIBWC. [Extracted from the article]
