Introduction
• Culture: An integrated pattern of human
knowledge, belief, and behavior that depends
upon the capacity for symbolic thought and
social learning.
• Natural resources: Economically referred to as
land or raw material occur naturally within
environments that exist relatively undisturbed
by mankind, in a natural form..

Predictive modeling is the process by
which a model is created or chosen to try
to best predict the probability of an
outcome.
Use GIS in
Archaeology
Manual
Method
• Define

• Mapping
Site Risk
Assessment
• Populated

• Natural

• View point

and
feature
intervisibility
3-D Modeling
• 1-GIS system to test a liner-ofsight analysis
• 2- indivisibility requires
coordinates.
• 3-elevations for the site location.
• 4-DEM(digitail elevation model)
•
it’s about file that contains
elevations from which contours
can be generated
Data sharing
+Data is the limiting factor in any GIS study.
+when we was the individuals data
- very expensive
-time consuming
-nearly impossible to collect data and
create the base maps.
+A natural progression demand for data sharing,
+same state stared to input archaeological survey information into
centralized GIS system
+processing the information un he GIS system is take long time and
laborious, because they are 100 of paper maps and associated overlays.
Applications in Natural Resources
1- vegetation studies
-Vegetation studies have became popular especlly study the changing.
-study must setup:
*photography
*developing a classification system.
-A map of the area would be produced and various statistics run on the
vegetation information.
*first, the vegetation polygons are drawn on the photo by the best
judgement of the biologists.
*second, when mapping thing over time here is this problem of advancing
technology.
_ Mapping natural resources to
have a suitable habitat *
• _ GIS mapping project to
evaluate a suitable
habitat.*
Next, themes that depict habitat
type would be overlain on the base
map.
• _ Fieldwork , example*
Mine Planning
_ GIS is playing a large role in the mining industry.
_ for the rapid testing of many mine plan models a company can
create a plan of operation that not only minimizes impacts but
also maximizes efficiency.
_ Issues can be mapped and analyzed *
• _ Visual impacts can be designed in 3 D*
Conclusion
• _ 2 D mapping and data analysis are the main uses for GIS in
the fields of cultural and natural resources.
• _ In order to begin any mapping task, one must have the
software, hardware, data, and understanding of how it all fits
together.
• Visual impacts can be designed in 3 D
