Abstract Details

2012, MA, University of Cincinnati, Arts and Sciences: Geography.
Archaeology, like many disciplines, has employed GIS as a tool which allows a diversity of new research agendas, from predictive site modeling to combining of spatial data sets, which were once too cumbersome to be handled in entirety. With the explosion of web mapping applications over the past decade, the opportunity now exists to bring these capabilities, which once required specialized education and software, to the entire archaeological community. The Puuc Region Archaeological Geographic Information System (PRAGIS) is a methodological foray into bringing spatial analysis to professionals regardless of their computer mapping experience. With the combination of data sets pertaining to site location, landforms, modern features, recent land use patterns, as well as several basemaps, it is intended that this type of program will provide the intermediary functionality between the options of static viewing of sites and the full suite of spatial tools, and corresponding knowledge base for their implementation. http://egis.artsci.uc.edu/PRAGIS/
