Author(s): David Zeanah; James Carter; Daniel Dugas; Robert Elston; Julia Hammett

Year: 1995

Summary

This report expands and elaborates on an earlier model that predicted locations of prehistoric archaeology at Stillwater Marsh by analyzing the economic foraging potential of resource distributions there. A preliminary survey of selected lands administered by three federal agencies determined the predictive power of the model.
