Title: El uso de Sistemas de Información Geográfica (SIG) en la arqueología sudamericana
Description: A carefully edited collection of 14 recent studies on archaeological GIS applications from contributors in Argentina, Brazil and Chile in South America. The subjects covered include predictive modeling and analysis of site location and distribution, settlement patterns, lithic raw material availability, regional archaeological visibility, intrasite material distributions and zooarchaeological collections as well as heritage management and risk assessment. The time periods analyzed include cases from all the Holocene up until present day and the papers are written in English, Portuguese and Spanish.
The authors of the papers in this volume are: Lucía A. Magnín, Liliana M. Manzi, Mariano Orlando, M. Julieta Jaime, Florencia Weber, G. Roxana Cattáneo, Claudia Di Lello, Juan Carlos Gómez, Vivian G. Scheinsohn, Silvia D. Matteucci, Maria José Figuerero Torres, Fernando X. Pereyra, Chiara P. Movia, Leonor Cusato, Rubén Actis Danna, Enrique Rossetto, Eduardo Rojas, Jose Tedesco, Laura Quiroga, M.
