| Research Abstract |
This research discusses methodology of making digital topographic surveys and processing spatial data by means of GIS (Geographical Information Systems). To collect accurate spatial data, researchers survey a site using a total station and GPS. I have been engaged in the digital documentation of and analysis of spatial data for the Tsukuriyama kofun-gun, burial mounds in Okayama prefecture. In conclusion, methodological and practical issues in the processing of spatial data using the result of digital topographic surveys are discussed, in order to give a proper perspective for future research in this area.
