Archaeological data are particularly well-suited for GIS because
a. archaeological data can be made more scientific through the use of GIS.
b. archaeological data frequently contain a spatial component.
c. archaeological data speak for themselves, requiring little to no interpretation.
d. the location of archaeological data are best predicted using GIS
e. archaeological sites from which data is drawn are easy to interpret, but walking over them is a chore
Question 2
GIS was able to show that Chacoan roads did not follow the path of least resistance across the landscape. This can most likely be explained by
a. the fact that Ancestral Pueblo people were not familiar enough with the landscape to determine the easiest path across it.
b. the fact that the roads held a symbolic rather than purely economic value to the Ancestral Pueblo people.
c. a flaw in the GIS database used to determine the path of least resistance.
d. inaccurate interpretation of the GIS results by a non-specialist.
e. soil resistivity survey is of limited use in the study of roads and foot paths.
