PHOTOARCHAEOLOGY

IN THE SPRING OF 1965, THE ITEK DATA ANALYSIS CENTER CONDUCTED A PHOTOARCHAEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATION FOR THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE. THE OBJECTIVES OF THIS INVESTIGATION WERE TO DETERMINE WHAT TYPE OF FILM, BLACK AND WHITE IR, PAN-MINUS-BLUE, NATURAL COLOR, OR COLOR IR, WAS BEST SUITED FOR DETECTION OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES ALONG THE MISSOURI RIVER IN SOUTH DAKOTA. COVERAGE WAS OBTAINED AT SEVERAL SCALES, AND COMPARED WITH PAN-MINUS-BULE SCALE 1/20,000 USDA PHOTOGRAPHY OF THE SAME AREA. WE CONCLUDED THAT NATURAL COLOR AND COLOR IR, SCALE 1/10,000 PROVIDED THE BEST INTERPRETATION MEDIUM, CONSIDERING THE SAVING IN TIME WHICH THESE MEDIUMS PROVIDED. /AUTHOR/
