GIS and Archaeological Site Location Modeling

Archaeology researchers and spatial information scientists have been working to refine archaeological predictive modeling and diversify its use for several distinct sets of practitioners, each with fundamentally different interests. GIS and Archaeological Site Location Modeling draws together issues of theory and methodology, scale, data, quantitative methods, and cultural resource management. Providing a comprehensive treatment of predictive modeling, the book presents these concepts along with several site location models and case studies. Written by a distinguished group of international authors, this volume also includes a CD-ROM that provides useful maps and color illustrations.
