Abstract
AbstractAlthough the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) has a long history in archaeology,
spatial technologies have been rarely used to analyse the content of textual collections. A newly
developed approach termed Geographic Text Analysis (GTA) is now allowing the semi-automated
exploration of large corpora incorporating a combination of Natural Language Processing techniques,
Corpus Linguistics, and GIS. In this article we explain the development of GTA, propose possible uses
of this methodology in the field of archaeology, and give a summary of the challenges that emerge from
this type of analysis.
