G.C. Herman's Geoarcheology
Blog 2021-01-05
This is a repository of on-going and unpublished work stemming from field and laboratory studies conducted with colleagues over the past few years and focused on geological aspects of prehistoric human and early colonial occupation of the Mid-Atlantic margin of the Eastern United States centered on New Jersey. I use Google Earth and QGIS geographic information systems (GIS) together with the SketchUp Pro computer-aided drafting (CAD) system to portray geological aspects of sites where humans have worked Earth. Airborne, laser-ranged topographic mapping (LiDAR) and a portable X-Ray fluorescence (pXRF) gun are also used. Published material can be found here.
