Using GIS for Public Outreach: Making Archaeological Data Accessible to Students, Stakeholders, and the General Public
Author(s): Rachel Hines; Katherine Sims
Year: 2020
Summary
This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.
Geographical Information Systems (GIS) has the potential to make archaeological data accessible to broad audiences, both as a medium for presenting information and as a platform for incorporating diverse perspectives into archaeological research. Drawing on our experiences working with students, stakeholders, and the general public as case studies, we examine the barriers to using GIS technology, present creative ways to combat these issues, and assess future potential for spatial technologies as public engagement tools in archaeology.
