<br />A parameter that would be very useful to add to the model would be a consideration of <br />the age and depths of the various soils and fills in the Elk. River area. This would allow for <br />consideration of potentially deeply buried sites, eroded sites, and natural site disturbance. <br />Using such a parameter requires extensive geomorphologic research beyond the scope of <br />this study. <br />Model Weighting: Two different base models have been created. The first, a general, <br />all-periods model does not consider vegetation types, as these remain unclear for periods <br />prior to A.D. 300. The second model includes a consideration of ecotones, but is valid only <br />for periods post A.D, 300. <br /> <br />I $~nu;d .l!~ode! <br />I Parameter I Weight <br />J Proximity to River I 30% <br />I Proximity to Lake I 20% <br />I Proximity to Stream I 20% <br />, Slope I 15% <br />I Hilltop I 15% <br /> <br />I Post A,D, 300 Model <br />I Parameter I Weight <br />I Proximity to River 30% <br />I Proximity to Lake 20% <br />I Proximity to Stream I 10% <br />I Slope I 15% <br />I Hilltop 15% <br />I Proximity to Ecotones 10% <br /> <br />Removal of Developed Areas: As the goal of this model is to provide a useful basis <br />for preservation and project planning, the final version of the model has classified all heavily <br /> <br />24 <br />
