Abstract
ANDREW WILSON INTRODUCTION The development of a city will have a clear pattern in time and space.1 To unravel the history of a city it is important to be able to place artefacts into their correct place in time and space and interpret them in the context of other artefacts. Doing this however is very complex as traditionally databases have been poor at handling space, while maps are usually only concerned with a single point in time. This paper examines a project concerned with the development of the city of Sydney. To study the development of the city through time and space it uses a GIS approach that allows a wide variety of archaeological and historical sources to be integrated, queried and displayed through a spatio-temporal interface. GIS software typically provides an effective way of handling space but has little temporal functionality. As a result this project uses a custom-written software, TimeMap to handle space and time together. The TimeMap project is based at the Archaeological Computing Laboratory (ACL) at the University of Sydney.2 Since 1996 it has been developing a practical methodology for the recording, manipulation and display of spatiotemporal data with potential applications in research, teaching
