Systematic Sampling Results



Using the systematic sampling strategy, artifacts were found in only 9 excavation units (21.4% of all the units), marked by the green dots. If each green dot represents five artifacts (such as flakes, bifaces, or projectile points) then a total of 85 artifacts were recovered. Notice that only 2 of the 3 artifact concentrations were encountered using this method. The concentration in the northeast corner of the project area was completely missed.
