A Rationale for Technical Guidelines on Predictive Locational Modeling of Archaeological Resources on U.S. Army Installations

Abstract

This technical note provides an overview of the objectives and rationale for the development of Department of the Army (DA) guidelines for predictive archaeological modeling in support of the Integrated Cultural Resource Management Plan (ICRMP), which is now required at all Army installations. The note includes a brief discussion of: (1) the utility of GIS based predictive modeling, (2) the complexity of data requirements, and (3) the need for a basic understanding of the modeling process. Managers need this information to acquire predictive models and to use the results in daily decision making.
