To start off our NPS Southwest Archeology Podcast, we interview Francis P. McManamon about the beginnings of historic preservation and the Antiquities Act. Frank is the former Chief Archeologist for the National Park Service, and current Executive Director of the Center for Digital Antiquity (https://www.digitalantiquity.org/)

In this 3rd episode of our 2nd season, Sharlot starts out saying that it's the opening episode. Sorry for that! Otherwise, please enjoy listening to Sharlot and Matt discuss one of their own projects - climate change and adobe architecture in Tucson.
