How does a land owner know when an archaeologist is approaching them to gain access to private property?
A licensed archaeologist will always approach a landowner(s) to identify themselves, explain the purpose of their field study, and ask for permission to gain access to the private property. It is important to have permission from a landowner(s), in advance of a land study, to allow an archaeologist to follow geologic formations or patterns of land use by early people.
