Mark D McCoy
I am a landscape archaeologist whose research centers on the development of ancient political economies and human ecodynamics. My expertise is in geospatial archaeology and my regional focus is the islands of the Pacific.
My new book Maps for Time Travelers: How Archaeologists Use Technology to Bring Us Closer to the Past tells the story of how geospatial technology is revolutionizing archaeology. It is due out from the University of California Press in May 2020.
