Practical Applications of GIS for Archaeologists: A Predictive Modelling Toolkit [With CDROM]

By R. Joe Brandon and Konnie L. Wescott

GIS is the most powerful technology introduced to archaeology since the introduction of carbon 14 dating. The most widespread use of this technology has been for the prediction of archaeological site locations. Practical Applications of GIS for Archeologists: A Predictive Modeling Kit focuses on the use of GIS for archaeological predictive modeling. The contributors include internationally recognized researchers who have been at the forefront of this revolutionary integration of GIS and archaeology, as well as first generation researchers who have begun to critically apply this new technology and explore its theoretical implications. A CD-ROM of color illustrations is provided.
