The Whistling Elk Subsurface Imaging Project was conceived as a means to
explore the potential of linking multiple remote sensing methods at a
single archaeological site. A second goal was the investigation of GIS
methods for spatially associating the data and the use of image
processing techniques to produce graphical results of high quality.
Finally, an important purpose of this project is the dissemination of
the results to the wider archaeological community. This is being
achieved in the following ways.
The distribution of a poster package of results to a sampling of 40
Departments of Anthropology, relevant government agencies, and other
archaeological institutions.
Papers describing results have been presented at professional
conferences including the Society for American Archaeology, the Plains
Anthropological Society, the Saskatchewan Association of Professional
Archaeologists, and the Arkansas Archeological Society.
Publication of the results is planned in several journal
articles, with one book article already in press. Three technical
reports have also been submitted to the Army Corps of Engineers
(see bibliography).
This project was supported by a technology transfer grant from the National
Center for Preservation Technology and Training, National Park Service.
