Coming soon: Archaeology, GIS and Cultural Resource Management in Trinidad
The book produces predictive models of selected watersheds in Trinidad based on GIS. It also addresses important issues relating to GIS data input, access, retrieval and data management within the context of Trinidad’s archaeology. Also included is a discourse on the history of archaeology research in Trinidad, the island's physical environment and the role of GIS in settlement archaeology and cultural resource management. Dr Reid is Senior Lecturer in Archaeology in the Department of History at The UWI. He is the author of Myths and Realities of Caribbean History and the editor of both Archaeology and Geoinformatics: Case Studies from the Caribbean and A Crime Solving Toolkit: Forensics in the Caribbean.
