Documentary research is the starting place for all inventory efforts. Systematic
study and evaluation of documentary data will usually permit predictions to
be made about the kinds and distribution of cultural resources that may be
encountered in an area. Such study may also make it possible to develop a broad
evaluation framework within which the significance of particular cultural resources
can be judged. Finally, background research will aid in pinpointing cultural
resources that have already been adequately documented, or cultural resources
that are known but need further study to obtain full documentation.
