A Case for Full Coverage Survey
edited by Suzanne K. Fish, and Stephen A. Kowalewski
In 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.
In 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. A new prologue traces developments of the past two decades and shows how current archaeological practice favors full-coverage research design, both in cultural resource management and research contexts. From the reviews “[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 in American Antiquity “This book presents a strong case for broader application of FCS [full-coverage survey] . . . . [A]n important addition to the archaeological literature. . . . This volume systematically introduces full-coverage survey as a methodology for regional analysis.” Stanton W. Green in Winterthur Portfolio
