Geospatial skills applied at different scales in archaeology
Geospatial skills and techniques are used in archaeology at different scales: object scale, site scale, and landscape scale. These skills involve the accurate recording of geospatial locations, capturing high-resolution data of surface morphology and substance, and using technologies like GPS, total stations, photogrammetry, and laser scanning. This allows archaeologists to visualize and understand sites, objects, and features in detail, even revealing subtle details that are invisible to the naked eye. Geospatial data also plays a crucial role in analyzing and interpreting archaeological sites by enabling cluster analysis, route analysis, and network analysis. It provides quantifiable and scientific data for analyzing patterns, distributions, and connections within and between sites.
