2.  39,000 acres  Predictive Modeling of an old military site  Aberdeen Proving Ground  Model based on associated data  Primarily because of unexploded military ordnance Model designed around distance To examine possibility of finding shell middens

4.  Developed by Argonne National Laboratory  Predictive Modeling for all Federal facilities  Goal – manage all Federal facilities in a cost efficient manner  Model would consider air & water quality, wetlands, T & E species and cultural resources  100 data layers gathered  To date only 1% has been surveyed for cultural resources

5.  Time and money to do a controlled survey with field verification special consideration  Safety consideration over unexploded ordnances were the overriding concern  As a result, 572 prehistoric sites in other areas of Upper Chesapeake Bay used instead  Examined for shell midden and non-shell midden site  Proximal distance to water ended up being the overarching parameter

12.  Safety First when walking through unexploded ordnances  Use other data when bombs present  Directs and channels planners to reduce sites to potential areas to examine (i.e. predictive model)  Intensive archeology still necessary
