Survey Methods (Other Keyword)
1-10 (10 Records)
To non-archeologists, one of the deeper "mysteries" of the historic preservation program seems to concern the methods of identification and assessment of archeological properties and utilization of this information in project planning and compliance processes. Misunderstanding and misinformation about these activities are very common. To clarify some of these questions, Dr. Thomas F. King prepared a manual on the methods and objectives of archeological survey that would in large part be...
Full-coverage survey techniques in the mountains of the Sierra Sur, Oaxaca, Mexico. (2015)
This poster presents full-coverage mountain survey methodologies in light of the development of GPS technologies and GIS software and data during the last decade. Oaxaca, Mexico is a well-known area for settlement pattern research as various successful full-coverage regional survey projects have been done there. Settlement data of the Oaxaca region, gathered using full-coverage survey methods, have produced large continuous datasets of the spatial distribution of archaeological remains....

Methodology: U.S. Army Alaska 2006 Range Developments Section 106 Archaeological Inventory and Evaluation Fort Richardson and Fort Wainwright (2006)
U.S. Army Alaska planned to survey several past inventoried archaeological sites during the 2006 summer field season. The focus of this work would involve: 1) the survey of firing fans associated with training ranges on Fort Wainwright's Yukon and Donelly Training Areas, 2). Evaluations to determine eligibility for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places of archaeological sites that may be impacted by future development on the Donnelly Training Area, and 3). Numerous smaller...
Patriot Ground-Based Air Defense Battery Locations, JBER, Cultural Resources Survey Report, United States Air Force Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska (2016)
The U.S. Air Force proposed to construct a permanent Patriot Ground-based Air Defense (GBAD) battery location at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, to support two Patriot GBAD batteries. The two locations discussed in this report are two of the alternatives being considered in the Environmental Impact Analysis (EIA) for the Patriot GBAD project. Because the proposed project includes federal funds and lands, it qualifies as an undertaking under Section 106 of the National Historic...
Sighting sites: viewshed analysis and site boundaries in archaeological survey (2015)
The identification, designation, and definition of the ubiquitous archaeological "site" are foundational to archaeological survey. These standard classificatory practices frequently emplace rigid spatial and temporal boundaries around human activities and portray past landscapes as simply consisting of "sites" and the unoccupied spaces outside of "sites". However, the people, places, and material things that constitute physical and social landscapes are dynamic, and the boundaries between them...

The Utility of Portable XRF for Preliminary Site Prospection at Contaminated Colonial Period Mining Sites (Puno, Peru) (2019)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Field portable x-ray fluorescence spectrometry (pXRF) has seen an increase in use for testing potentially toxic levels of heavy metals in modern mining and industrial waste sites. Understanding the spatial variation of pollutants in soil is necessary for identifying proper prevention measures for soil contamination and long-term effects on human health. While...
