Although archaeologists are using GIS technology at an accelerating
rate, publication of their work has not kept pace. A
state-of-the-art exploration the subject, GIS and Archaeological
Site Location Modeling pulls together discussions of theory and
methodology, scale, data, quantitative methods, and cultural
resource management and uses location models and case studies to
illustrate these concepts. This book, written by a distinguished
group of international authors, reassesses the practice of
predictive modeling as it now exists and examines how it has become
useful in new ways.
A guide to spatial procedures used in archaeology, the book
provides a comprehensive treatment of predictive modeling. It draws
together theoretical models and case studies and explains how
modeling may be applied to future projects. The book illustrates
the various aspects of academic and practical applications of
predictive modeling. It also discusses the need to assess the
reliability of the results and theimplications of reliability
assessment on the further development of predictive models.
Of the books available on GIS, some touch on archaeological
applications but few cover the topic in such depth. Both up to date
and containing case studies from a wide range of geographical
locations including Europe, the USA, and Australia, this book sets
a baseline for future developments.
