Well, since I should gravitate toward some aggregated method of jotting down notes regarding thesis thoughts, I figure what better place than this newly adopted blog. It also serves to be accessible anywhere and notes can also be added from anywhere - granted the all important internet connection.
So, here is a cut and paste from an email I keep sending and resending myself of random thoughts and notes regarding thesis methods. I can now delete that email.
- Include aerial imaging.. thematic mapper and LIDAR from CAST
- Chapter on geomorphology of the red river with evidence of meander of the river over time.
-
Handbook of Geophysics in Archaeology- GCD, Tom Jones, Terran Map, Crenshaw, Hatchell. A comparative study looking at intrasite settlement patterns of the Battle Mound site to support or not support the Terran Map observations. Where they out of it? Is GCD and other sites frontier sites with anomolous settlement patterns? Can specific settlement patterns be determined or are they so highly variable (single mound, hamlets, etc. as depicted in the Terran Map) that a pattern cannot be determined. What does this tell us about the Caddo culture and how they might have viewed their instrasite landscape?
