Archaeological 3D GIS

Archaeological 3D GIS

Archaeological 3D GIS provides archaeologists with a guide to explore and understand the unprecedented opportunities for collecting visualising and analysing archaeological datasets in three dimensions. With platforms allowing archaeologists to link query and analyse in a virtual georeferenced space information collected by different specialists the book highlights how it is possible to re-think aspects of theory and practice which relate to GIS. It explores which questions can be addressed in such a new environment and how they are going to impact the way we interpret the past. By using material from several international case studies such as Pompeii Çatalhöyük as well as prehistoric and protohistoric sites in Southern Scandinavia this book discusses the use of the third dimension in support of archaeological practice. This book will be essential for researchers and scholars who focus on archaeology and spatial analysis and is designed and structured to serve as a textbook for GIS and digital archaeology courses.

The Transformation of EU Geographical Indications Law The Present Past and Future of the Origin Link

The Transformation of EU Geographical Indications Law The Present Past and Future of the Origin Link

Linking traditional and local products to a specific area is increasingly felt as a necessity in a globalised market and Geographical Indications (GIs) are emerging as a multifunctional tool capable of performing this and many other functions. This book analyses the evolving nature of EU sui generis GIs by focusing on their key element the origin link and concludes that the history of the product in the broad sense has become a major factor to prove the link between a good and a specific place. For the first time this area of Intellectual Property Law is investigated from three different although interrelated perspectives: the history and comparative assessment of the systems of protection of Indications of Geographical Origin adopted in the European jurisdictions from the beginning of the 20th century; the empirical analysis of the trends emerging from the practice of EUGIs; and the policy debates surrounding them and their importance for the fulfilment of the general goals of the EU Common Agricultural Policy. The result is an innovative and rounded analysis of the very nature of the EU Law of GIs that starting from its past investigates the present and the likely future of this Intellectual Property Right. This book provides an interesting and innovative contribution to the field and will be of interest to GI scholars and Intellectual Property students as well as anyone willing to gain a better understanding of this compelling area of law. | The Transformation of EU Geographical Indications Law The Present Past and Future of the Origin Link

How to Make Maps An Introduction to Theory and Practice of Cartography

How to Make Maps An Introduction to Theory and Practice of Cartography

The goal of How to Make Maps is to equip readers with the foundational knowledge of concepts they need to conceive design and produce maps in a legible clear and coherent manner drawing from both classical and modern theory in cartography. This book is appropriate for graduate and undergraduate students who are beginning a course of study in geospatial sciences or who wish to begin producing their own maps. While the book assumes no a priori knowledge or experience with geospatial software it may also serve GIS analysts and technicians who wish to explore the principles of cartographic design. The first part of the book explores the key decisions behind every map with the aim of providing the reader with a solid foundation in fundamental cartography concepts. Chapters 1 through 3 review foundational mapping concepts and some of the decisions that are a part of every map. This is followed by a discussion of the guiding principles of cartographic design in Chapter 4—how to start thinking about putting a map together in an effective and legible form. Chapter 5 covers map projections the process of converting the curved earth’s surface into a flat representation appropriate for mapping. Chapters 6 and 7 discuss the use of text and color respectively. Chapter 8 reviews trends in modern cartography to summarize some of the ways the discipline is changing due to new forms of cartographic media that include 3D representations animated cartography and mobile cartography. Chapter 9 provides a literature review of the scholarship in cartography. The final component of the book shifts to applied technical concepts important to cartographic production covering data quality concepts and the acquisition of geospatial data sources (Chapter 10) and an overview of software applications particularly relevant to modern cartography production: GIS and graphics software (Chapter 11). Chapter 12 concludes the book with examples of real-world cartography projects discussing the planning data collection and design process that lead to the final map products. This book aspires to introduce readers to the foundational concepts—both theoretical and applied—they need to start the actual work of making maps. The accompanying website offers hands-on exercises to guide readers through the production of a map—from conception through to the final version—as well as PowerPoint slides that accompany the text. | How to Make Maps An Introduction to Theory and Practice of Cartography

Across the Corrupting Sea Post-Braudelian Approaches to the Ancient Eastern Mediterranean

Across the Corrupting Sea Post-Braudelian Approaches to the Ancient Eastern Mediterranean

Across the Corrupting Sea: Post-Braudelian Approaches to the Ancient Eastern Mediterranean reframes current discussions of the Mediterranean world by rereading the past with new methodological approaches. The work asks readers to consider how future studies might write histories of the Mediterranean moving from the larger pan-Mediterranean approaches of The Corrupting Sea towards locally-oriented case studies. Spanning from the Archaic period to the early Middle Ages contributors engage the pioneering studies of the Mediterranean by Fernand Braudel through the use of critical theory GIS network analysis and postcolonial cultural inquiries. Scholars from several time periods and disciplines rethink the Mediterranean as a geographic and cultural space shaped by human connectivity and follow the flow of ideas ships trade goods and pilgrims along the roads and seascapes that connected the Mediterranean across time and space. The volume thus interrogates key concepts like cabotage seascapes deep time social networks and connectivity in the light of contemporary archaeological and theoretical advances in order to create new ways of writing more diverse histories of the ancient world that bring together local contexts literary materials and archaeological analysis. | Across the Corrupting Sea Post-Braudelian Approaches to the Ancient Eastern Mediterranean

Viking Silver Hoards and Containers The Archaeological and Historical Context of Viking-Age Silver Coin Deposits in the Baltic c. 800–1050

Viking Silver Hoards and Containers The Archaeological and Historical Context of Viking-Age Silver Coin Deposits in the Baltic c. 800–1050

It is widely accepted that the Viking Age (c. 800–1050) stimulated the development of long-distance regional and local trade and exchange networks. The clearest archaeological evidence for these contacts is mainly in the form of silver artefacts predominantly found in hoards in Northern and Central Europe – the Baltic zone. However beyond occasional national- or regional-level research there have been no attempts at a historically guided comparative archaeological survey of the Baltic zone as a whole. By investigating silver hoards and the context of their deposition Viking Silver Hoards and Containers seeks to understand the variety of functions performed by hoards; the differences in function within regions; the hoards’ relationship with trade; and the nature and function of emporia. It also examines the extent to which the findings mesh with literary evidence and the nature of the different societies benefiting from the influx of silver in the Viking Age. Crucially the book features a catalogue which provides a thorough overview and update of Baltic-zone hoards. Viking Silver Hoards and Containers is intended for use by students of and specialists in early medieval Viking and Slavic history and archaeology. However it will also be a useful teaching resource for other general courses in archaeology anthropology and material culture numismatics economic history religious studies GIS and statistics. | Viking Silver Hoards and Containers The Archaeological and Historical Context of Viking-Age Silver Coin Deposits in the Baltic c. 800–1050

Critical Race Spatial Analysis Mapping to Understand and Address Educational Inequity

Critical Race Spatial Analysis Mapping to Understand and Address Educational Inequity

How does space illuminate educational inequity?Where and how can spatial analysis be used to disrupt educational inequity?Which tools are most appropriate for the spatial analysis of educational equity?This book addresses these questions and explores the use of critical spatial analysis to uncover the dimensions of entrenched and systemic racial inequities in educational settings and identify ways to redress them. The contributors to this book – some of whom are pioneering scholars of critical race spatial analysis theory and methodology – demonstrate the application of the theory and tools applied to specific locales and in doing so illustrate how this spatial and temporal lens enriches traditional approaches to research. The opening macro-theoretical chapter lays the foundation for the book rooting spatial analyses in critical commitments to studying injustice. Among the innovative methodological chapters included in this book is the re-conceptualization of mapping and space beyond the simple exploration of external spaces to considering internal geographies highlighting how the privileged may differ in socio-spatial thinking from oppressed communities and what may be learned from both perspectives; data representations that allow the construction of varied narratives based on differences in positionality and historicity of perspectives; the application of redlining to the analysis of classroom interactions; the use of historical archives to uncover the process of marginalization; and the application of techniques such as the fotonovela and GIS to identify how spaces are defined and can be reimagined. The book demonstrates the analytical and communicative power of mapping and its potential for identifying and dismantling racial injustice in education. The editors conclude by drawing connections across sections and elucidating the tensions and possibilities for future research. ContributorsBenjamin BlaisdellGraham S.

Visual Criminology From History and Methods to Critique and Policy Translation

Visual Criminology From History and Methods to Critique and Policy Translation

This edited collection captures the expertise of scholars from the US the UK Australia and Canada to catalog the rise in visual approaches in criminology. It presents examples of visual methods uses and approaches in criminology; assesses the potential for new graphic approaches to collect analyze and present data; and provides some analysis of the use of images in teaching to spur social critique and guide policy translation. The collection visually connects theory and practice by highlighting the work of criminologists who have embraced the visual turn. Contributors explore the use of cognitive maps concept and mind maps life history calendars CCTV life plots GIS and hot spot research policy graphs visual abstracts and research summaries and other visual tools in the context of criminology. Approaches building on visual sociology are also featured including a discussion of developments in documentary photography and film visual ethnography and sensory phenomenology. The book is organized thematically with each chapter following logically upon the last introducing readers to a variety of visual approaches and their application in criminology. The goals of this collected volume are three-fold. The first is to highlight how the visual has been used in criminology historically to present data contest meaning and complicate social control and make more transparent the research process. The second is to work toward some sort of definitional consistency. While a worthy endeavor this remains elusive given the assortment of uses and varying traditions from which visual criminology has emerged. The third is to try to think clearly about the role of humility. This means a willingness to acknowledge an epistemological framework and note the variety of limitations associated with trying to understand in deep and meaningful ways. For visual criminology specifically it involves the recognition that part of the power of images (whatever their construction) comes from whether we think they are beautiful or whether and/or to what extent they disrupt our understanding in one way or another. This interdisciplinary book will be of interest to criminologists sociologists visual ethnographers historians and those engaged with media studies. It is a valuable supplementary text for courses in introductory criminology and criminal justice criminological theory research methods and other upper-level and senior capstone courses. | Visual Criminology From History and Methods to Critique and Policy Translation
