Integrating Military Training and Archaeological Site Integrity: A Field Analysis Approach (Legacy 10-435)

Summary

The purpose of the study was to identify factors useful for assessing potential damage to archaeological sites resulting from military vehicle training activities and determining acceptable thresholds for these activities, to assist the DoD in sustaining critical military training while complying with cultural resource stewardship responsibilities. The report specifically addresses soil compaction and examines physical evidence associated with vehicle ruts and the implications for artifact displacement and stratigraphic mixing drawn from that evidence.
