Book Description
Written by a preeminent expert in geospatial archaeology, Maps for Time Travelers is a guide to how technology is revolutionizing the way archaeologists study and reconstruct humanity's distant past. From satellite imagery to 3D modeling, today archaeologists are answering questions about human history that could previously only be imagined. As archaeologists create a better and more complete picture of the past, they sometimes find that truth is stranger than fiction.
Author Bio
I am a landscape archaeologist whose research centers on the development of ancient political economies and human ecodynamics. My expertise is in geospatial archaeology and my regional focus is the islands of the Pacific.
My new book Maps for Time Travelers: How Archaeologists Use Technology to Bring Us Closer to the Past tells the story of how geospatial technology is revolutionizing archaeology. It is due out from the University of California Press in May 2020.
