Abstract

Although GIS has now come into its own for large scale modelling and site management purposes its application to smaller site specific applications has not been generally recognized. This paper examines the use of GIS techniques through the use of ArcView and related software to a specific archaeological site, the Pawson Site (DgMr-152), a large stone circle site located south of Estevan, Saskatchewan. The various problems of data recovery and recording are examined, current results are reviewed, and recommendations for such small-scale future GIS projects are offered.
