	Archaeological field survey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Archaeological field survey is the methodological process by which archaeologists (often landscape archaeologists) collect information about the location, distribution and organisation of past human cultures across a large area (e.g.
		A field survey is usually the result of a long period of research and planning.
		Extensive survey, on the other hand, is characterised by a low-resolution approach in which (e.g.) only samples of a larger study area (often in excess of several sq km) are visited.

	Survey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Surveying is the science of measuring positions and distances on Earth.
		Archaeological field surveys are surveys conducted in order to locate archaeological sites prior to excavation.
		Paid surveys are sent by market research companies to their panel members in order to conduct research for large companies.

	Mn/Model - Archaeological Field Survey Methodology
		The field procedures are designed to survey the required sample parcels cost-effectively and efficiently, while meeting state guidelines for field survey, and recovering all necessary information for the predictive model.
		Archaeological data collection and the manner in which it is conducted form the empirical basis for the entire project.
		Pedestrian survey is recognized as appropriate to areas with moderate to high surface visibility (e.g., plowed fields), while shovel test pit excavation is appropriate where surface visibility is low (e.g., forest floor).

		Results can be processed in the field and presented via a portable printer where speed is of the essence in order to move on to the next stage in the evaluation process.
		Whether in the case of an archaeological evaluation or a full scale archaeological excavation, it will be a condition of the planning consent that any recovered archaeological artefacts are assessed and analysed.
		There is little point in undertaking archaeological evaluation, excavation or research if the recovered evidence is not effectively reported and published, both in terms of providing data for the effective administration of the planning process and for final publication in either academic or more general format.

	RCAHMS : current work
		An archaeological field survey assessment began in May 2005 and is being carried out in partnership with the Defence Estates, using the methodology developed for the survey of the Kirkcudbright Training Area.
		As well as a map of all the archaeological remains, at least ten monuments were selected for more detailed survey, while a programme of aerial reconnaissance across the survey area and the neighbouring landscapes supported the work undertaken in the field.
		The upstanding archaeological remains include the recent crofting township in Mingulay Bay, pens, shelters and peat-stack stances outwith the head-dyke, extensive areas of lazy-bedding and remnant fields, banks and enclosures.

		The aim of this paper is to stimulate international debate on standards and guidelines for the conduct and publication of archaeological field walking surveys in the Mediterranean.
		The authors then looks ahead at the potential formation of a joint international research and development programme to aid standardisation of field survey methodology, including such matters as the resolution of conflicting uses of terms and definitions.
		Field surveys in the Mediterranean, as elsewhere, have been and are being conducted with a variety of aims and methods.

		While the magnetometer is better for certain locations, the resistivity meter is more often used because of the lower cost.
		The difficulty with geophysical surveys is that they do not distinguish between the structures that are of interest to archaeologists and more recent ones.

	University of Hawaii Rapa Nui (Easter Island) Archaeology Program - Archaeological Field School
		Field research will be conducted on prehistoric habitations and other sites in three parts of the island: Maitakitemoa (northwest coast), Akahanga (south-central coast), and with Sergio Rapu at the famous site of Anakena (northeast coast).
		Field school students will conduct archaeological field survey, detailed mapping, and small-scale excavations of archaeological sites at these locations.
		A vast amount of previous archaeological research by Chilean and international scientists on the island illustrates the richness and complexity of the prehistoric, historic, and palaeo-environmental record on this fascinating, anthropologically-significant, yet often widely misunderstood island.

	What is an Archaeological Predictive Model?
		An archaeological predictive model is essentially a map that indicates the relative likelihood of encountering archaeological finds in a specified region.
		Archaeological location models tend to be biased toward the archaeological pattern of sites on or near the surface, and particularly toward sites of recent age.
		This automation allows archaeological predictive models to be developed and mapped over very wide regions and at very high resolutions, such as 50 x 50 meter land parcels.

	Sphakia Survey: The Internet Edition
		We made the Sphakia Survey video to explain to non-specialists the methods and possible results of archaeological field survey.
		The video takes as its focus the Sphakia Survey, which covers a long timespan, 5000 years, from the time that people arrived in Sphakia (ca 3000 BC) to the end of the Turkish period (ca AD 1900).
		Field survey, which aims to discover the patterns of past human interaction with the environment, necessarily also involves patterns of present, archaeological, investigation of that environment.

	Field School
		Students of the 2005 field school will gain experience in all aspects of prehistoric fieldwork, and will be expected to develop an original research problem relating to some aspect of survey, excavation and/or interpretation of a prehistoric archaeological site.
		Student performance in the field and lab will be assessed according to their capability in performing basic fieldwork techniques, including the use of excavation tools and survey equipment.
		As archaeological excavation is a destructive process, the accurate recording of fieldwork is an essential part of this field school.

	Secretary's Standards--Archeology and Historic Preservation
		Survey techniques may be loosely grouped into two categories, according to their results.
		Reconnaissance survey might be most profitably employed when gathering data to refine a developed historic context-such as checking on the presence or absence of expected property types, to define specific property types or to estimate the distribution of historic properties in an area.
		Intensive survey describes the distribution of properties in an area; determines the number, location and condition of properties; determines the types of properties actually present within the area; permits classification of individual properties; and records the physical extent of specific properties.

	Field Report 2000: architecture
		The historical archaeological program closely interrelates with other aspects of the TASP project (the detailed archaeological survey, the geobotany and geomorphology, sociological, architectural and pottery research), to ensure that the contemporary landscape is richly contextualised in terms of its many layers of social, cultural, political and historical meanings.
		Thirty-eight Building Units were surveyed in the abandoned village of Kato Katrouphas Mandres (TS07), a village seasonally occupied, it is estimated, from the 18th to the 20th centuries.
		The field survey and recording in the historical archaeological component will focus on three specific material aspects of the recent past: agricultural structures and features; industrial remains; and evidence of sacred and ritual use of places such as shrines and votive offerings.

		As part of its probabilistic sampling strategy the project was to include careful surface survey along 300 x 3000 m transects covering a minimum of 20% of the lower Eresos valley and 10% of the upper Eresos valley and adjacent valleys.
		Fields of grain, and alfalfa where irrigation is possible, some olives, grapes and other fruit, are cultivated in the valley floor, but generally surface visibility is excellent and there is little problem in gaining access to areas within the survey limits.
		The archaeological survey on Melos used long, narrow transects, as at Eresos, but the transects were selected by a more random means in order to allow for better statistical analysis: C.
