Excerpt from The Preliminary Report of the National Reservoir Inundation Study, 1977
Prewitt, 1972; Anderson, 1974; Lenihan, 1974; Garrison, 1974; Carrell, 1974; Ruppe and Green, 1979; Prewitt, Environmental impact statements initiated by various Federal agencies have advanced models for understanding the effects of inundation on archeological sites, ranging from those based on the assumption that all is preserved and protected for posterity, to those based on the assumption that all sites will turn into masses of unrecognizable gelatinous material, with no remaining data-retrieval potential. The one elementcommon to all of the assertions being made at this point regarding the overall effects of inundation on cultural resources is that they are highly speculative and scientifically unsupportable.
