Using CRM Survey Data: As Useless as Tennis Shoes on Armadillos? Examining Characteristics of Late Woodland and Late Prehistoric Sites in the Central Scioto Valley,Ohio
The use of CRM data for serious archaeological research is often ignored, given that most CRM surveys are not designed to address an archaeological research problem. Rather, they are in most cases expedient means of satisfying state and federal regulations. This article utilizes the results of CRM survey data from the central Scioto River drainage, Ohio, to address the problem of settlement pattern change from the Late Woodland period to the early Late Prehistoric. The study indicates that useful information is present for a number of basic environmental and archaeological variables, suggesting that similar use may be made of such data in other areas.
