Description
Book SynopsisIn this volume, originally published by Smithsonian Institution Press in 1990, the editors present eight thorough case studies on a wide range of environments and cultural contexts to argue the advantages of full-coverage survey-the systematic coverage of a whole study area.
Trade Review
“[R]epresents an important step in the holistic analysis of regions. Full-coverage survey . . . has great analytical potential beyond the range of sample survey. . . This volume will aid in the development of improved research designs and the interpretation of their results.” (Martin G. Dudek, American Antiquity)
