Abstract
Your survey will have a particular purpose for you, and this will determine the instruments used and the extent. Survey areas could extend from only a hundred square metres to many hectares, even square kilometres. If you want to understand a previous landscape, you need to survey a large area, but if your interest is in a particular feature and you know exactly where it is, you may only need to survey a very small area to glean the details of interest to you. In this chapter, we present and comment on a few surveys by way of illustration of these types.
