Reimagining the Role of African Universities in the Context of Archaeology and Development
Developing a national spatial (GIS) database of archaeological sites in Zimbabwe
This paper discusses two issues: the value now accruing from the digitisation of the national record of archaeological sites in Zimbabwe and the importance of integrating Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in archaeological research. The record of archaeological sites in Zimbabwe, otherwise known as the Archaeological Survey Database, or the Survey Record, is a list of sites that have been reported to the National Museums and Monum…

However, the status and impact of this technology in developing countries are still to be fully appraised. This paper reviews applications of Geographic Information Systems in Zimbabwean archaeology, highlighting the issues addressed and the constraints being faced. The paper also…
