MACIAS-QUINTERO, Juan Ignacio y REYES-IBELLES, Stephanie Elizabeth. Early Settlements in Chiapas, Mexico. A Proposal Using Geographic Information Systems (GIS). LiminaR [online]. 2018, vol.16, n.2, pp.170-186. ISSN 2007-8900.
We discuss a proposal to use geographic information systems (GIS) to undertake a thorough search of archaeological sites with preceramic settlements. We use GIS to discern the location and routes used by hunter-gatherer groups who colonized southeastern Mexico (Central Depression of Chiapas) during the late Pleistocene (ca. 10,000-8,000 BP). Our analytical scale contains a higher degree of detail and accuracy than previous studies. We hope to evaluate the scope and effectiveness of GIS for studies of early settlements in the Americas.
