The geophysical surveys at Whistling Elk were conducted in grids that
controlled the placement of the instruments over the landscape. Grids
of 20 x 20 m were typically employed. Each grid was established by
staking 20 m ropes parallel to each other on the ground, typically 1-2
m apart. The survey instruments were then moved along each rope,
which were marked in meters, allowing the measurements to be accurately
located. Upon completion of a grid another was established where
survey commenced again.
This project was supported by a technology transfer grant from the National
Center for Preservation Technology and Training, National Park Service.
