Buried Landscapes: GIS 3D Modeling of Geoarchaeological Data

Summary

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

Geoarchaeological coring provides deep and continuous samples of subsurface soils and sediments. Through analysis, dating, and interpretation of these data, we model land and site formation processes from the Late Quaternary to the near-present. GIS 3D modeling enables us to reconstruct and visualize buried landscapes and assess areas of archaeological sensitivity. Using a series of 3D animations, we present results from recent cultural resource management projects in the Eastern United States.
