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.
