Geoinformatics is especially critical within the Caribbean where site destruction is intense due to storm surges, hurricanes, ocean and riverine erosion, urbanization, industrialization, and agriculture, as well as commercial development along the very waterfrontsCaribbean archaeology and ethnohistory.Indians of the West IndiesAntiquitiesArchaeological geologyCaribbean AreaExcavations (Archaeology)Geographic information systemsCaribbean AreaCaribbean AreaAntiquitiesIndians of the West IndiesAntiquities.Archaeological geologyExcavations (Archaeology)Geographic information systems972.900285Reid Basil A.1961-1621167MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910822316303321Archaeology and geoinformatics4103149UNINA
