ABSTRACT
When we review projects that have encountered major archaeological problems, it is usually obvious that the problems could have been avoided if more archaeological work had been conducted before construction began. In most cases there were plenty of indications that archaeological resources might be present. Either the project was located in a cultural area with a high potential for resources, or a warning had been issued by an interested person. But, for whatever reason, project personnel did not take the appropriate measures to assess the project location and determine whether important resources existed.
