The application of GIS to the study of the development of the Roman settlement pattern in Spain. Paper by Federica Massagrande.

A description of an archaeology project making use of the freely available geographic information system GRASS. From the Linux Journal, an article by R. Joe Brandon, Trevor Kludt and Markus Neteler.

Imagery in this library is derived from archaeological remote sensing projects conducted primarily by the Archeo-Imaging Lab at the University of Arkansas. These projects have utilized ground penetrating radar, proton magnetometry, fluxgate gradiometry, electrical resistivity, and electromagnetic conductivity methods.
