What is Archaeology?
The Scientific Study of Material Remains
of Past Human Cultures
= Artifacts and Sites
![Page 4: Visualizing the Past for the Present: A Summation of Interdisciplinary Digital Archaeological Research for the University of California, San Diego Graduate Student Association Award](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061305/549a4cd3b47959d6298b4589/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Why?
So that we can try and interpret intersections between Objects, Space, and Time
to make sense of our past.
Often works best to visualize for dissemination- timelines, maps, etc…= BIG DATA issues

I study spatial relations within sites and the placement of sites within the landscape.

How do we do this in archaeology?
