BRIEF EXPLANATION
In this course students will be introduced at the knowledge of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) through the use of QGIS software and its application to the field of archaeology. The knowledge of the different spatial data models used in GIS, the raster model and the vector model will be dealt with. In addition, they will learn to manage the data in a suitable way in order to introduce them, modify them, transform them and carry out queries, using the appropriate QGIS tools in each process according to the needs of archaeological analysis. The course will close with the acquisition of the necessary skills to present the results through the elaboration of cartography.
