Welcome to the Spatial Explorations of Landscape in Archaeology (SPELIA) website. SPELIA, based at the Department of Archaeology of Boston University, aims to foster communication and collaboration among scholars researchers with backgrounds in GIS, spatial analysis, and/or 3D visualization, with the goal of sharing useful 3D methodologies and applications.  As a result of studying we hope to build on studies of real-world archaeological contexts by more traditional 2D methods such as ArcGIS or illustration, SPELIA and to explores the potential for 3D environments to improve spatial analysis, engage multiple audiences, and encourage non-visual avenues of archaeological investigation (e.g., multi-sensorial studies).
