	abstract = {<p>Thearchaeological research conducted for the City of Halifax during the summer of 1985 is outlined in this paper. The work involved: 1) the initiation of an inventory of potential archaeological sites in the City; and 2) an assessment of the archaeological potential of specific Halifax locations. Given the quantity of archival material available on Halifax, identifying past sites and their present-day locations for the archaeological inventory was relatively easy. In order to assess the archaeological potential of the present-day locations a research report format and a point evaluation system were developed. However, it is concluded that far more information on artifact distribution and survival, areas and rates of sedimentation and construction procedures is needed before any accurate pre-excavation evaluations can be made for specific locations. The appointment of a City Archaeologist is recommended.</p>},
