Cultural resources refer to tangible and intangible elements of a society that hold historical, cultural, or societal value. These resources can include artifacts, sites, traditions, practices, rituals, languages, and stories that are passed down through generations and shape the identity of a community or group of people. Cultural resource management involves identifying, preserving, and managing these resources to ensure they are protected and respected for future generations. Researchers in this area may study the significance of cultural resources, investigate their historical or cultural contexts, and develop strategies for their preservation and interpretation. Cultural resources research often intersects with disciplines such as anthropology, archaeology, history, and cultural studies.
