==Background== Federal legislation had passed earlier in 1906 under the [[Antiquities Act]], but it was not until the 1970s when the term "cultural resources" was coined by the National Park Service. The Archaeological and Historic Preservation Act of 1974, commonly known as the Moss-Bennett Act, helped to fuel the creation of CRM.<ref>{{Cite web|title=NPS Archeology Program: Archeological and Historic Preservation Act (AHPA)|url=https://www.nps.gov/Archeology/tools/laws/AHPA.htm|access-date=2021-04-29|website=www.nps.gov}}</ref> The [[National Park Service]] defines cultural resources as being "Physical evidence or place of past human activity: site, object, landscape, structure; or a site, structure, landscape, object or natural feature of significance to a group of people traditionally associated with it."<ref>{{Cite web|last=Harbor|first=Mailing Address: PO Box 177 Bar|last2=Us|first2=ME 04609 Phone:288-3338 Contact|title=Cultural Resources - Acadia National Park (U.S. National Park Service)|url=https://www.nps.gov/acad/learn/management/rm_culturalresources.htm|access-date=2021-04-29|website=www.nps.gov|language=en}}</ref>
