Major advances in the use of geographic information systems have
been made in both anthropology and archaeology. Yet there are few
published discussions of these new applications and their use in
solving complex problems. This book explores these techniques,
showing how they have been successfully deployed to pursue research
previously considered too difficult - or impossible - to undertake.
Among the projects described here are studies of land degradation
in the Peruvian Amazon, settlement patterns in the Pacific
northwest, ethnic distribution within the Los Angeles garment
industry, and prehistoric sociopolitical development among the
Anasazi. Following an introduction that discusses the theory of
geographic information systems in relation to anthropological
inquiry, the book is divided into sections demonstrating actual
applications in cultural anthropology, archaeology,
opaleoanthropology, and physical anthropology. The work will be of
much interest within all these communities.
