o Macro or Regional Scale - regional or landscape level. Requires
broad perspective, survey archeology. e.g. regional trade patterns
etc
o Can make inferences about lifestyle, relationships and social
structures based on settlement patterns.
34.
High visibility/Low visibility
- how visible a site is, usually involves size and
location, influences the awareness local people have of the site.
o High visibility = (Deserts, Arid Areas); archeological remains visible
on ground surface
o Low Visibility = (vegetation, soil deposition); archaeological remains
may be buried or obstructed by vegetation;
35.
UTM -
o Divides earth between 80S and 84N latitude into zones each 6° of
longitude in width
o NorCal = zone 10
36.
Latitude/ Longitude -
o
Latitude
= geographic coordinate that specifies the
north–south
position of a point on the Earth's surface, ranges from 0 to 90
degrees.
o
Longitud
e = geographic coordinate that specifies the
east-west
position of a point on the Earth's surface, ranges from 0 to 180.
37.
GPS -
Geographic positioning system, longitude and latitude coordinates
38.
Topographic Maps
- maps including large-scale detail and quantitative
representation of relief features on the earth's surface.
39.
Datum point
- a reference point that provides known locations to begin
surveys and create map.
40.
Scale
- the scale of a map is the ratio of a distance on the map to the
corresponding distance on the ground
