GPS is everywhere and is a major help in surveying archaeology sites. But the major new tool is GIS. Besides being a database with all the bells and whistles, the GIS has considerable3-D cartographic capability. The days of sketchy line drawings of excavations are nearly at an end and we can link images such as pottery shards to the map and link those to other databases, probably to Internet search engines, too, if we want. Freemont Peoples should be a click away from Korea or Chinese Pyramids or Egyptian mummies with tobacco in their hair.
