Landscape Lines 2: Levels of Investigation
Landscape Lines 2: Levels of Investigation. Cultural Landscape Guidance Documents. Landscape Lines 2. NPS Park Cultural Landscapes Program. Washington, D.C.
A guide to Levels of Investivation, part of the Landscape Lines series from the Park Cultural Landscapes Program. The Cultural Landscape Report (CLR) has a flexible format so that it can be used in conjunction with various landscape types, management objectives, and treatment activities. While each CLR should be similar in format and content, not every CLR needs to contain the same level of information. The level of investigation refers to the type and extent of information gathered and analyzed during the three activities conducted for a CLR. These are historical research, existing conditions investigation, and analysis and evaluation. This document offers guidance on determining and applying the levels of investigation. Ultimately, the level of investigation should match the level of decision making to be directed by the CLR; if proposed intervention is high, the level of investigation should be thorough. If funding or staffing limit the level of investigation, the resulting level of desision making should be more limited.
