The methods developed in this investigation will increasingly serve as critical steps in the evaluation of archeological properties as required by the National Historic Preservation Act. Use of these methods can increase the effectiveness and (often reduce the cost) of the evaluation efforts. Since excavation of entire sites or settlements, or even large areas of them, is impossible owing to funding limitations and ethical concerns, it may be only through integrated remote sensing that real understandings of the content, structure, and extent of archaeological sites may be achieved. It is anticipated that the methods pioneered here provide an important step in the direction of that goal.
