Hi every body
I'm going to find historical places using GIS and RS.
Does anyone have experience with this?
What references do you recommend?
Thank you
...a problem where one could cite many, many great studies.
- Google "locational analysis" will be helpful
- check the work (PhDs) of Martijn van Leusen (http://scholar.google.com/citations?user=H6OP3MUAAAAJ) and Philipp Verhagen (http://vu-nl.academia.edu/PhilipVerhagen) for basics regarding theory and method in general.
- tutorials and guides regarding the application in R and GIS can be found, e.g, in the books/manuals of Roger Bivand (see link for a book) or Adrian Baddeley (--> http://www.spatstat.org/) [they cover the practice part and you have to adapt your question to it...but it will work!]
...finally after checking all this you are ready to also check current papers/books covering this topic and attending mailing lists of R and e.g GRASS GIS.
Hope that helps.

Dear Daniel Knitter
I am Gis & Rs ready.
Just the problem is connecting Gis&Rs with archaeology concepts.
My question is :
How can I achieve Gis&Rs techniques to find hidden archaeological sites?
surely there are many articles discussed about this topic in theory,but they don't have technical solution in detail.
In general, the methodological approach that your are looking for is "predictive modelling"
I am not sure whether there is a point-and-click tutorial. It always depends on the context of the research question.
...some techniques from this link will be useful for analyzing the data: http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/dismo/vignettes/sdm.pdf
In general you shall follow a procedure like this (what will take some time - but this is unavoidable):
1) understand the method, so that you can divide it in smaller parts for your data analysis
2) find tutorials for R and GIS that explain how to solve the "small step question" defined in 1 --> e.g. one question would be "what is the environmental feature, where most of my hitherto known sites are located" ... the R-course of Baddely explains in detail how to answer these kind of questions (link: http://www.csiro.au/Portals/Publications/Research--Reports/Spatial-Point-Patterns-in-R.aspx)
3) combine the data...
not the answer you looked for, right? ;) But in my opinion there is no quicker way.
Dear Daniel Knitter
I think there was a misunderstanding,
I want to detect hidden archaeological sites using RS(remote sensing) techniques.
about Rs maybe there is no problem to find technical articles like this:

But about Gis techniques Just generalizations could be found.
