GIS and Spatial Analysis in Archaeology

0.5 credits · Undergraduate

Rather than being a specific technical skill, the use of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) has now become so ubiquitous in the field of archaeology that it is an essential component of archaeological training. This course covers the fundamentals of the application of GIS and remote sensing data to archaeological research, as well as introducing common forms of archaeological spatial analysis. It focuses on hands-on training in GIS software, and the direct application of basic spatial analysis methods to archaeological datasets.
