	Mn/Model - Archaeological Field Survey Methodology
		Based on county soil surveys and the geology and geomorphology of the parcel, soil types and the depth to the subsoil can be identified.
		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).

	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.
		Surveys can be a practical way to decide whether or not to carry out an excavation (as a way of recording the basic details of a possible site) and may also be ends in themselves, as they produce important information about past human activities in a regional context.
		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.

	Charter for the Archaeological Heritage
		Other elements of the archaeological heritage constitute part of the living traditions of indigenous peoples, and for such sites and monuments the participation of local cultural groups is essential for their protection and preservation.
		The archaeological heritage is common to all human society and it should therefore be the duty of every country to ensure that adequate funds are available for its protection.
		The overall objective of archaeological heritage management should be the preservation of monuments and sites in situ, including proper long-term conservation and curation of all related records and collections etc. Any transfer of elements of the heritage to new locations represents a violation of the principle of preserving the heritage in its original context.

	Thames Archaeological Survey Project
		The Thames Archaeological Survey pilot study was initiated by the London Archaeological Research Facility at the Institute of Archaeology, University College London and the Curatorial Division of the Museum of London.
		The survey, undertaken between April and September 1995, was conducted by teams recruited from local archaeological societies and students from the Institute of Archaeology, UCL.
		The extensive survey followed the reconnaissance survey, and was intended to provide a basic record of the archaeological features and deposits within the zone, thus enabling a preliminary evaluation of its archaeological potential to be made.

	MIDDLESEX CANAL ARCHAEOLOGICAL RECONNAISSANCE SURVEY
		The survey provides a full accounting of existing portions of the canal, as well as known and expected archaeological sites and historic buildings, structures, objects, burial grounds, parks, and landscapes that are structurally and historically significant to the Middlesex Canal.
		Survey tasks performed as part of the archaeological survey included review of map evidence and secondary sources relating to the canal’s development; preparation of archaeological sensitivity maps for the route of the canal; and a walkover survey of the canal.
		Archaeological remains encountered during the walkover of the canal were photographed and included on the sensitivity maps.

	Interactive Dig Sagalassos 2003 - Survey
		Surveys and excavations at Sagalassos have produced within the city many iron smelting and working slags within the city, especially in the southwest.
		The previous three seasons taught us that surveying in a too detailed way (with survey members only two meters apart) is time-consuming and the labour input is not in balance with the results obtained.
		Therefore, in 2002 a pottery survey was carried out in the ancient territory of Sagalassos on some sites we surveyed in 1993-1997 that had a high potential for yielding material from the missing periods, especially early (pre-Hellenistic, but post-prehistoric) or very late (post-Early Byzantine) finds.

		Archaeological surveys to locate sites are undertaken by archaeologists employed by a wide variety of agencies and the private sector.
		Based upon the literature and records review, the archaeologist develops a research design that details what he or she is expecting to look for, what actual methods he or she will employ to conduct the search and how he or she will record what they find.
		Even when no sites are found a survey report is required to detail the actual areas inspected and the methods that were followed.

		The specific goals of the survey were to: 1) establish the distributions of artifacts of particular dates within the survey area; 2) to evaluate how far such distributions adequatedly represent past patterns of settlement and other human activities; and 3) to provide some explanation for long-term changes in the human behavior which such patterns reflect.
		Geomorphological investigations conducted in association with the archaeological survey mapped soil units in most of the area that was intensively surveyed.

	Archaeological Survey and Prospection
		ne of the field methods of archaeology, archaeological survey, is one that most people think of simply as a prelude to excavation.

		Many non-archaeologists assume that all the archaeological sites have been found by now (actually "new" ones are found every day), while others wonder how we manage to find sites, particularly when they are buried.
