Abstract
Culturally accelerated deposition of sediment in alluvial valleys has been recognized in the U.S. since 1801 or earlier. Such deposition is most common in valleys with drainage areas smaller than a few hundred square miles, where there has been upland gullying, and where substantial proportions of sand were available. The modern sediment deposit may be recognized by texture, color, compaction, distinctive minerals, buried artifacts, or stratification. These deposits are measured using base maps, surveying, boring, mapping, and sampling. Guidance is given in calculating volumes, tabulating, interpreting, and reporting the data obtained.
