This week in Archaeological Applications, we focused on online sources of historical data and the lab specifically focused on the retrieval and use of historical maps and documents. There are numerous sources for materials that archaeologists may need. Our lab took us to Ancestry.com, Arcgis.com, and Google Maps Street View. From a technical perspective, we also explored including hyperlinks within a map.
Graphical design and layout is probably one of my weaknesses when it comes to maps, so more practice is good, I suppose. I do always feel like I'm cramming more items into a map than could possibly fit however.
