Studying the past, or dealing with heritage, will require you to think spatially and to critically evaluate spatial information. Space can be considered as the glue that holds our understanding of the past together. It is the one piece of information that is common to most, if not all, evidence that we have. This module introduces you to a series of concepts and techniques that will allow you to both manage and explore heritage data spatially.
From a practical perspective spatial information in Archaeology, and many other disciplines, is most commonly considered in terms of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and this module will have a focus on introducing you to, and giving hands on experience of, these and related technologies. Although this is a module that focuses on heritage it may suit other postgraduate students who require an introduction to spatial methods as part of their research.
The module caters for both ArcGIS and QGIS software.
