But is "site locational data" the work-site location? Where a proposed
development might be or where impacts in planned improvements to a
current landscape are located? Not really, so why not make that
information available in summary or supervised release after the fact
of the investigation.
It all depends on the size of the archaeology versus the size of the
property under investigation. Surely, during field investigations, you do not want
the average person walking by to see human bones or the local burglar to get
ideas about jumping the fence to seal a human skull for sale to the local
occult shop? People up in high rise buildings are far less likely to jump a chain
line fence because they worry about Armani suits, alligator shoes, and
breaking fingernails. On a property that is 100 acres in size, you can talk in
general terms, like "the Oak woodland" or down by the river or some such general
reference. The point in this dialog is to word your own contracts in such a
way that you have to authority and right to record the site, to submit a copy
of your report to curation facilities, and that you can have fair use of the
information for academic papers and publications.
