A Sample Survey: Cultural Resources On Potential Agricultural Development Lands On the Gila River Indian Reservation

Author(s): William S. Marmaduke; Laverne Conway

Year: 1984

Summary

In 1982, Northland Research, Inc. performed a small fraction sample survey of potential agricultural development lands on the Gila River Indian Reservation. The sample was selected probabilistically. Results suggest that, within the probability limits of the sampling design, as much as 59,687 ± 21,272 acres of land within the 296,320 acre target area could contain significant archaeological remains requiring attention in any future development plan. In addition, it was possible to calculate probabilities for the occurrence of significant archaeological remains in the major, modern vegetation communities of the reservation. A discussion of the advantages and limitations of probabilistic reasoning is also included.
