This is a copy of the handbook created for the 1980 field season of the Cape Cod National Seashore Archeological Survey project. The archeological survey of Cape Cod National Seashore (CACO) was a multi-year study designed to help manage and interpret archeological resources . These resources include material remains and information about them from both the historic (about 1550 A. D. to the present) and prehistoric (about 12,000 before the present to 1550 A. D. or so) time periods. This handbook provides background for the project and provides the recording forms used in the field and lab as part of the survey recording. The report includes an introduction to the project, summarizes the results of the 1979 season, outlines the goals of the 1980 field season, describes the methods and techniques used in the investigation, the project organization and various assigned duties, and the procedures and recording forms.
