[GIS Book/PDF] A GIS for the Archaeology of the Murghab Delta

Description

In S. Salvatori and M. Tosi (eds.) The Bronze Age and Early Iron Age in the Margiana Lowlands: Facts and Methodological Proposals for a Redefinition of the Research Strategies (British Archaeological Reports. International Series 1806). — Oxford, 2008. — pp. 31-39.The application of a Geographic Information System (GIS) to manage a large amount of data, like that coming from an extensive area such as the Murghab Delta (approximately 20,000 sq km), is now becoming the standard method adopted by a growing number of archaeological projects. Different GIS programmes are actually used for the same purpose, in order to organise numerous and different data into a homogeneous structure that allows us to undertake several types of research. In building up the Murghab Delta GIS, we had to tackle both the development and modification of archaeological research techniques, on the one hand, and hardware and software technological evolution on the other. For this reason we were forced to expend a large part of our energies in rendering an enormous quantity of data suitable for an Informative System.
