The Seedskadee Project: Remote Sensing in Non-Site Archeology

The project area includes some 185,000 acres of land along the banks of the Green River below the Fontenelle Dam in southwestern Wyoming. The Statement of Work calls for 1) a Class I Cultural Resources Survey and Remote Sensing Survey to assess the general nature of the resources, 2) the preparation of a predictive study design based on available information, and 3) a ground truth survey on a small sample of the project area. This proposal discusses the methods that the Branch of Remote Sensing of the Division of Cultural Research of the Southwest Cultural Resources Center of the National Park Service proposes to follow to comply with the requirements into three separate types. The Branch will conduct two out-of-house subcontracts and several in-house studies
