GIS/Cartography

AHS is committed to using the latest technology for mapping cultural resources in the field. We use handheld units with integrated GIS and GPS technology, allowing us to provide sub-meter accuracy of mapped points.

AHS uses the latest version of Esri’s ArcGIS software to produce:

  • Shapefiles of project features and cultural resources for field use
  • Resource location maps
  • Archaeological site sketch maps
  • Georeferenced maps (project related CAD drawings, historic maps, etc.)
  • Archaeological site probability modeling
  • Project Geodatabases
  • Viewshed analysis
  • Various Spatial Analyses
  • LiDAR analysis of project area
