Data

• Cultural Resource Management Reports
• Housed at the State Historic Preservation Office
  (SHPO)
• Private Collections
• Individual Archaeologist Collections

  polygon capture
• Over 18,000 surveys polygons
• Over 20,300 site polygons

Progress

• Currently survey site data capture for 115
  counties completed
• All sites in backlog (2 boxes)

11
Surveys - Current Counts
12
Whats left to do

• Back log for last 2-4 years (100 boxes of
  surveys)
• Private Collection (11 boxes of sites)

13
Why is this useful?

• More efficient use of time
• Archaeologists will have the data at their
  fingertips not searching files

14
Why is this useful?

• Fewer surveys conducted in an area

15
Usability

• From October December 2006 used approx. 125
  times by SHPO to retrieve data requested by
  patrons
• Currently being tested updated by MoDOT USFS

16
Accuracy Assessment

• 480 survey attributes
• 10 errors
• 2.1 error rate
• Mean number of errors per survey across all
  attributes 0.25
• Standard Deviation 0.433013
• 680 site attributes
• 15 errors
• 2.2 error rate
• Mean number of errors per site across all
  attributes 0.4
• Standard Deviation 1.090871
• No systematic errors - random

17
The Future

• Data Delivery Projected September 2007
• Archaeological Predictive Modeling Project
• Proximity to streams, water bodies wetlands,
  etc.
• Soil Types
• Landform
• Proximity of discovered sites
