Document Summary
Recovery: systematic recovery and preservation of the material of interest from the scene. In an archaeological context, this phase involves the excavation of an archaeological site, feature, or structure and collection of associated artifacts and ecofacts in order to gain information about a culture through the materials they left behind. Interpretation and reporting: generation of a report and interpretations based on the activities and products of the previous three phases. Phase iv reporting should be accompanied by a map of the project area as well as interpretations and conclusions. Even if a search did not result in the location of remains, the report should document the procedures used as well as the area that was searched. Detection of a scene involves the search for and location of remains. Methods differ, for example, when searching for surface remains versus buried or submerged remains, and different approaches may be required in steep, dense terrain versus an open field.
