Sweep Widths in the Evaluation of Coverage by Archaeological Surveys in Jordan and Cyprus
Author(s): Steven Edwards; Edward Banning; Philip Hitchings; Sarah T Stewart
Year: 2015
Summary
The Wadi Quseiba Survey in northern Jordan and Tremethos Valley Survey in Cyprus recently employed "calibration runs" by survey crews to calculate sweep widths in a variety of visibility contexts. The resulting sweep widths were a critical element in evaluating the coverage of spaces previously surveyed, and these coverages were integral to the planning of additional survey according to a Bayesian allocation algorithm.
