Abstract
⺠A study into the effectivity of core sampling for discovering Stone Age sites. ⺠12 Excavations were analyzed for find densities and their spatial distribution. ⺠Find density estimation is complicated by using different sieving mesh sizes. ⺠Clustering of finds has a marked, negative effect on discovery probability. ⺠Currently used survey strategies are not sufficient to discover low-density sites.
