He began using GIS in his research in the early 1990s at a regional scale during archaeological survey in the Lake Titicaca basin of southern Peru. Recently, he has begun investigating the ways in which GIS can be used at the intrasite level, and has a special interest in the use of digital technologies of all kinds as primary field recording methods. You can know more about his research as well as that of some of his students with similar interests at http://www.titicaca.ucsb.edu . Among his GIS-related publications are . Anthropology , Space, and Geographic Information Systems (1996, with H. Maschner), and "Interactive data exploration on the WWW for classroom activities in archaeology using ArcView Internet Map Server," with A. Clifford and N. Craig (1999, ESRI User Conference Proceedings). He is also preparing a book on Archaeology and GIS for Leicester University Press. His research in GIS has been recently recognized with a Special Achievement in GIS Award from ESRI (2001).
