The Delaware DOT also stages its data recovery. The DOT, SHPO, CRM consultant, and consulting parties meet and evaluate the direction of the data recovery at each stage of the project (fieldwork, laboratory analysis, reporting, etc.)

The purpose of these surveys is to develop predictive models and historic contexts, defining settlement patterns and site types within the drainages. These contexts also identify the research potential and value of the various site types within a given drainage.

From page 31... ...
with marginal sites and sliver takes of more 32 significant sites, a number of DOTs have found a way to fund historic context development and other studies that are needed for better evaluation and management of archaeological sites that will be affected by transportation projects. Other creative mitigation efforts used by DOTs include the development of resource syntheses as part of data recovery efforts and the purchase of significant archaeological sites within and outside DOT project ROWs.
