1. Intensive 2. We determine a site to be a grouping of cereal on the ground. We did not run into a “non site”, but if we did, we would only really have identified it as so if it was like a singular piece far away, but we didn't encounter anything like that, if we had we might have recorded it anyways or just left it be. If there are ones out there, I imagine someone just kicked them out of the way or an animal moved them. 3. We all got into a line and marched forward in one direction and whenever we ran into something that person or the people around them circled around the area and recorded the site and moved forward again. 4. For a while me and 3 others didnt really run into anything until we decided to walk next to a “river” where we found at least 6 or so settlements, another challenge was counting,especially the huge site we found that had over 100 pieces. 5. Nothing really, I had no real complaints about it. Its simple and straightforward to understand and do. 6. We didnt really divide up the work, everyone began pretty much recording whatever they found and we all slowly formed groups and everyone pitched in when they could, whether that was checking the number count or just spotting sites. 7. Im pretty sure we were intensive but now im not entirely sure, but there was some trouble just finding sites, but besides that not really, cause as soon as we started walking by the river we found tons of sites with relative ease, but I know this is very rarely ever the case in the real world. 8. For us they were, but things like weather couldve effected them, like heavy rain couldve dissolved some of the cereal, wind couldve blown it away and the natural animals couldve ate it leaving us with nothing. 9. Most settlements were by rivers, and size of the site didnt usually determine the number of artifacts, one of the densely populated ones was far smaller than some of the larger ones, there one of about 380~ was also not directly next to a river but it was close. I dont know the exact places but i think that places far far from the river mightve been difficult at least to live in, as not many of mine or others that i saw at least were out in the fields, but rather close to some kind of naturally formation, that being a tree or a river as an example. I think what the data shows is that along side rivers and naturally barries, there were cities that rose to power due to numbers and most likely had control of the region around them, some might have been banished and had to settle farther away moved farther away to espace the rule of the more powerful city states. Urbanization was surely there in the bigger cities, how else were they able to be as big as they were.
