Audio-Visual Techniques in Emergency Salvage Archaeology
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 January 2017
Abstract
A surprising amount of archaeological data can be recovered during uncontrolled site destruction if the recording technique involved (1) eliminates as much time-consuming writing as possible, and (2) is permanent enough to be of use during laboratory analysis. The use of audio-visual equipment and color-coded datum points seems to fulfill these requirements and has been successfully tested in the two-day salvage of 4-Mer-66, a small Yokuts Indian mound in Dos Palos, California.
