Surveys are conducted to identify, record, evaluate and interpret cultural properties and to relocate, update records and evaluate previously identified cultural properties including but not limited to archaeological sites, historic structures and buildings, isolates and other properties of cultural, historic and scientific interest. Management and research objectives determine the survey intensity, design and methods. Surveys may employ predictive models to assist in developing survey strategies. Geomorphological studies are helpful and suggested when there is a likelihood of deeply buried archaeological sites.
