Archaeological GIS Theory and Methods
Description
Book Introduction
It is no exaggeration to say that archaeology is the study of space.
From the establishment of archaeology to the present, archaeologists have been studying the traces left by humans in the past by paying attention to the spatial phenomenon in which relics and ruins are distributed.
GIS, introduced to archaeology in the 1980s, is recognized as the most effective tool for interpreting these spatial phenomena. GIS can collect and manage all archaeological spatial information, visualize the distribution patterns of artifacts and sites, and answer many archaeologists' questions through site analysis, predictive modeling, zoning, line-of-sight analysis, and network analysis.
Today, GIS is a powerful and indispensable tool for archaeological investigation and research.
In the future, archaeological GIS is expected to significantly expand its scope through integration with artificial intelligence information technology, unmanned aerial systems, multidimensional spatial information technology, and knowledge platforms.
Based on this, archaeologists will be able to further enhance their insight into spatial phenomena and make meaningful discoveries.
