This second tool begins with an idle spinning globe. Select a region and the globe rotates toward it, then transitions into a regional prospecting map. The model adds the correction factors reserved from Tool 1: erosion, truncation, compaction, bioturbation, pedogenesis, hydrology, local landform tendency, anthropogenic disturbance, and GPR suitability.
The model remains heuristic. It is designed to help a field team reason about expected starting depth, surface invisibility, method selection, and whether regional calibration is needed before excavation, coring, or geophysical work.
Outputs are ranges, confidence bands, and method recommendations, not site-specific determinations.
Gross accumulation is reduced or altered by erosion/deflation, truncation/disturbance, compaction, bioturbation, pedogenic visibility, and hydrological preservation conditions.

GPR output is a planning guide only. Penetration and resolution depend on soil moisture, conductivity, clay/salinity, antenna frequency, target contrast, and disturbance.
The regional methodology note is displayed inline for review and annotation.
Use this local annotation log for regional correction factors, field observations, GPR/excavation comparisons, sedimentation references, and case-study additions.
