at archaeology professionals and students around the country. Four instructors and 10 participants used the St. Anne and Whittington sites as learning laboratories. This group of 14 collected GPS and remote sensing data, analyzed them through a GIS platform, and then worked in concert with a mature archaeological project to ground-truth their hypotheses within an existing research framework.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://ncptt.nps.gov/prospection-in-depth-2006/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>SAA Annual Meeting</title><link>http://ncptt.nps.gov/saa-annual-meeting/</link> <comments>http://ncptt.nps.gov/saa-annual-meeting/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 12 Jun 2006 17:33:41 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>NCPTT</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Archeology & Collections]]></category> <category><![CDATA[News]]></category> <category><![CDATA[APT]]></category> <category><![CDATA[APTRC]]></category> <category><![CDATA[burials]]></category> <category><![CDATA[David W.
