Curtis Marean, a paleoanthropologist in the School of Human Evolution and Social Change, used GIS services to contextualize paleoclimatic and paleoenvironmental evidence related to the origins of modern humans in South Africa. In a first for archaeology, GIS services created a three-dimensional video representation of an early site and its remains. The representation of the paleoscape and cave at Pinnacle Point in South Africa allows researchers to compare data in virtual ways not possible without the technology, Hutchins says.
