ABOUT BOOK

Archaeological 3D GIS provides archaeologists with a guide to explore and understand the ~unprecedented opportunities for collecting, visualising, and analysing archaeological ~datasets in three dimensions. ~With platforms allowing archaeologists to link, query, and analyse in a virtual, georeferenced ~space information collected by different specialists, the book highlights how ~it is possible to re-think aspects of theory and practice which relate to GIS. It explores ~which questions can be addressed in such a new environment and how they are going ~to impact the way we interpret the past. By using material from several international ~case studies such as Pompeii, Çatalhöyük, as well as prehistoric and protohistoric sites ~in Southern Scandinavia, this book discusses the use of the third dimension in support ~of archaeological practice. ~This book will be essential for researchers and scholars who focus on archaeology and ~spatial analysis, and is designed and structured to serve as a textbook for GIS and digital ~archaeology courses.
