Current Archaeological Research: Applications in Three-Dimensional Geographic Information Systems

The application of geographic information systems in archaeological research has become widespread over the past decade. Archaeologists focusing on Mesoamerica have discovered GIS and allied technologies including remote sensing and GPS have the potential to solve many questions regarding ancient locational decisions. The technology can also be used to perform analysis in three and four dimensions. This symposium includes papers on the advanced use of three-dimensional GIS to solve a variety of archaeological problems.
