Refinement of a Cultural Resources Location Probability Model and Long-term Management Tool for Death Valley National Park.

Investigators from the Recipientâ¿¿s, GIS and Spatial Analysis Laboratory (GISSA) within the Department Pathobiology, Recipient of Illinois and NPS staff will collaborate to accomplish the following specific objectives. This agreement is intended to refine a set of cultural resources / archeological probability and management models for Death Valley National Park (DEVA). The models will use the point coordinates of newly acquired site locations and their relationship to the landscape features to characterize the terrain according to its probability to contain specific types of cultural resources and to assess the efficacy of models built with prior data.
