GIS in archaeology  

Definition(s)

  • Since its origins in the 19th century, the modern discipline of archaeology has been based on an understanding of spatial phenomena at a range of interconnecting scales. Whether plotting distributions of artifacts and structures across a site or sites within a landscape, spatial relationships have been fundamental to thinking about past human lives and about social structures and relationships.
