Dolores Archaeological Program Technical Reports, DAP-013: The Dolores Archaeological Program Magnetic Reconnaissance Survey Program: Field Operations

Author(s): J. Holly Hathaway

Year: 1981

Summary

A magnetic reconnaissance survey was implemented in the initial year of the Dolores Archaeological Program to determine if this method would be useful in revealing subsurface archaeological features and in delineating the boundaries of the archaeological sites. The following report is a description of the field activities for the 1978 field season. The magnetic survey was useful in locating two pitstructures at Site 5MT2193 (excavated during the 1978 and 1979 field seasons by Dolores Archaeological Program field crews), and subsequent investigations of magnetically surveyed sites are expected to yield similar results .
