This course aims to provide the basic background for an understanding of how archaeological research using geospatial technologies can be used for analysis. Students will be guided through the methodological introduction through step-by-step instructions. Hands-on exercises will help students grow the necessary software skills to understand the applications of GIS within archaeology.  By the end of the course, students will be able to acquire and manage data, summarize results, conduct spatial analysis, and create map outputs.  

Course Goals:

·        An introduction to GIS in archaeology based on its history and theoretical background

·        The ability to design simple research questions using emerging geospatial tools.

·        Defining relevant spatial datasets for a given study area and ensuring their analytical compatibility.

·        The analysis of spatial patterns and geographically situated archaeological phenomena.

·        Approaches to disseminating and archiving results emphasizing digital methods.
