Geospatial Studies in the Archaeology of Oceania

Part of: Society for American Archaeology 84th Annual Meeting, Albuquerque, NM (2019)

This collection contains the abstracts of the papers presented in the session entitled "Geospatial Studies in the Archaeology of Oceania," at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

The past two decades have witnessed the regular integration of geospatial tools into virtually all archaeological research projects in Oceania. While many have focused on agricultural systems, others have explored ritual, settlement, resource use and distribution, and landscape changes. The papers in this session present the results of such studies, showing how archaeologists working in Oceania have pioneered advancements in spatial archaeology and modeling as applied to island contexts.
