The Accuracy and Adequacy of In-Field Artifact Analysis: An Experimental Test - Summary (Legacy 11-157) (2013)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Michael Heilen.

This summarizes a report that discusses the validity of the assumptions made when, for the sake of conserving funding and curation space, in-field artifact analysis is used over lab analysis of artifacts in western states.


Assessing the Quality of In-field Archaeological Artifact Analyses (Legacy 11-157)
PROJECT Michael Heilen.

This project reviews the validity of the assumptions made when, for the sake of conserving funding and curation space, in-field artifact analysis is used over lab analysis of artifacts in western states. Because test results showed that in-field and digital photo analyses of artifacts are of low accuracy and often inadequate for site interpretation, a set of recommendations is made for deciding how and in what situations field analysis is best applied.
