Why would anyone care? Well, as part of the Environmental Policy Act, the
National Historic Preservation Act is invoked and any federal agency or
corporation operating under federal permits, licenses, or with federal
funds, must take into consideration the historic and cultural resources
(including archeological sites) that may lie within their area of proposed
effect. Since the passage of EPA that has often meant either a scientific
guess about what might be in the area of effect or that some poor soul has
to go out and physically walk the entire area on parallel traverses 10 to 30
meters apart to insure that there is nothing there (or that what is there is
given protection). It seems that some kind of predictive modeling might be
most useful and could be economically productive.
