| 2580073879 | Role? | search for concealed artifacts, search for body/remains/i-d/ sequence of events/advise further on search. | 0 | |
| 2580081097 | archaeology? | search, recovery and interpretation. | 1 | |
| 2580081987 | archaebotany? | (pollen and macros) I-D people links, events, duration, place. | 2 | |
| 2580081988 | entomology? | ID duration | 3 | |
| 2580083090 | osteology? | Bone I-D, body reconstruction. | 4 | |
| 2580083091 | soil science? | link people, objects and places. | 5 | |
| 2580110960 | Bio-archaeology? | entomology, archaeology, archaebotany, osteology and soil science. | 6 | |
| 2580115920 | search parameters on a wide scale? | maps and aerial photography | 7 | |
| 2580115921 | search parameters on several acres or less? | on foot, environmental profiling. | 8 | |
| 2580118435 | search parameters when nothing is visible? | top layer of soil, geophysics, trial excavation. | 9 | |
| 2580128893 | topography | abnormal hollows/bumps | 10 | |
| 2580128897 | environmental profiling | burial changes environment; hold water , affects plants and soil. | 11 | |
| 2580138467 | geophysics | resistivity , ground penetraing radar (GPR), magnotometry | 12 | |
| 2580142978 | resistivity | resistance between two electrocodes, moisture conducts current, good for features retaining some water (graves), not good if too wet or too dry. | 13 | |
| 2580148910 | magnetometry | works in very wet or very dry condition. very fast and can cover large areas. identifies changes to magnetic fields. | 14 | |
| 2580152635 | ground penetrating radar (GPR) | radar bounces of sub-surface features and also the radar bounces of sub-surface differential compaction. good for ditches and graves. not good in wet, standing water or clay soil. | 15 | |
| 2580167109 | monitored top soil strip? | large suspect area, no visible disturbance and no geophysics. topsoil removal revels grave cut. gives info on how the grave was dug. differences in soil colour and compaction. | 16 | |
| 2580174080 | grave stages? | digging, deposit and backfill. | 17 | |
| 2580178316 | microscopic level search? | hair...fibres..seeds... | 18 | |
| 2580184680 | statigraphy? | analysis of order and position of archaeological remains. | 19 |
