Between Dirt and Digital: Finding New Ways to Record Old Stuff!
Author(s): Shane Sparks; Melissa Cascella
Year: 2015
Summary
In this day and age, technology is advancing by leaps and bounds on a daily basis. In some cases, these advances can be incorporated into common or repetitive archaeological methods to improve efficiency, accuracy, and, in some cases, sanity. This poster will present the explorations of two archaeologists, who also have GIS experience, into several new technological advances that have the potential to be used in archaeological contexts. Explorations will include a look at hand-held devices (iPads) for field recordation of both data and gps data, and several applications and software options tested for these devices. Also presented will be lessons learned from recent projects, as well as ideas and directions for future exploration in this new realm of data integration.
