FOR-184T: Non-Invasive Methods for Identifying Subsurface Resources: Culturally Sensitive & Collaborative Approaches
| ||
| Session Abstract | ||
|
Traditional methods for identifying archaeological sites or subsurface cultural resources are often invasive and require excavation. However, there are often situations and cultural contexts where excavation is inappropriate or not the preferred course of action. Increasingly, alternatives such as geophysical prospection and archaeological human remains detection are being utilized in culturally sensitive situations. We invite panelists to discuss how they utilize non-invasive alternatives for archaeological survey and site evaluation. We seek to have a conversation about best practices, case studies, and standards for non-invasive techniques in archaeology. | ||
