Abstract

Addresses the use of GIS in archaeology and by scientists in social science related disciplines such as history and historical geography. Through the use of GIS, the spatial dimension of all archaeological data can be collected, analysed, interpreted and presented. The book examines GIS through general discussions and specific case studies in order to provide archaeologists with sufficient information to be able to evaluate, purchase and apply GIS to their work. After a general introduction of 5 papers, there are 3 main parts: theory and methodology (5 papers); data sources, hardware and software (6 papers); and applications (12 papers). Over a third of the papers are abstracted separately. -R.C.Medler
