Archival Collection Finding Aid Cape Cod National Seashore Archeological Survey, Doyle and Nelson, 1998

Author(s): Thomas R. Doyle; Beth Nelson

Year: 1998

Summary

The goal of the Cape Cod National Seashore Archeological Survey was the inventory and assessment of archeological resources within the Seashore to allow for their effective management. Due to the large size of the survey area, extending from Eastham to Provincetown, a sampling strategy was developed and implemented for locating and testing sites. The Survey discovered both historic and prehistoric sites. However, an emphasis was placed on the prehistoric record because of the expertise of the principal investigator and staff in prehistory. Therefore only the prehistoric sites received an intensive level of investigation and excavation.
