Data Recovery Plan and Research Design For Sites in Kane County, Utah


Kane County Utah

Description


The purpose of this data recovery plan is threefold. First, the data recovery plan serves as a research design to direct the archaeological investigations. This includes the identification and development of relevant research questions and the methods and techniques necessary to address these questions. Second, the plan outlines the methods and techniques that will be used during mitigation, in the laboratory, and during analysis of the data collected. Third, the data recovery plan addresses reporting results, curation, and dissemination parameters for all portions of the Phase I data recovery. Additionally, data recovery of the Phase I sites, as proposed in the Alton Coal CRMP, will allow for the refinement of archaeological research questions and methods for the potential subsequent phases of archaeological management of the Alton Amphitheater and Sink Valley regions.
