Finding Your Way Through the Years: Looking Back at Past Position Fixing Methods Used at Parks Canada
Author(s): R. James Ringer
Year: 2014
Summary
Technology has evolved considerably over the last decade alone and has had a considerable impact on how underwater archaeologists do their work. One of these areas of technological improvement is position fixing: everyone is accustomed to the ease offered by GPS that revolutionized the recording of our spatial environment. This, however, was not always the case. This paper will offer a retrospective on the various methods and techniques of position fixing used and attempted by Parks Canada’s underwater archaeology service, if only to show how easy we have it today!
