Motul de San Jose Regional Archaeological Project

From summer 2014 to spring 2016 I worked as the survey manager and GIS technician for the Motul de San Jose Regional Archaeology Project. I spent the summers of 2014 and 2015 mapping archaeological features and excavations in Guatemala while doing the GIS work during the off season.

In order to map excavations, I operated a tablet connected to a high-end GPS receiver, operated by my associate, and worked with the supervising archaeologist to annotate each recorded point according to their operation’s nomenclature. The following images show how I chose to map archaeological structures at three spatial scales in order to provide both the smaller details and broader context of each excavation.
