Historical Mapping & GIS – Examples of Our Work

Historical mapping and GIS on the Isle of Man can bring together information from a range of sources to show how sites, landscapes and archaeological evidence have developed and been understood over time.

The examples below demonstrate some of the ways mapping can be used to combine, interpret and present complex archaeological and historical information clearly.

Historical & Landscape Mapping
Historical sources and mapping can be combined to explore changing landscapes, boundaries, land use and the development of places over time.

Archaeological & Site Mapping
Mapping can also bring together archaeological investigations, recorded features and evidence from different phases of work to create a clear visual record of a site.
