Greater Angkor Project (GAP)

Current Projects

This section defines the types of research programs that are underway within the Angkor project, including those being undertaken by staff, students and volunteers.

Environment ( 1 items ) A wide array of specialist scientific applications are employed as part of environmental research. GIS/Remote Sensing/Mapping ( 2 items ) Our project specializes in the use of GIS and remote sensing for the discovery and mapping of archaeological features and for monitoring of the Angkor World Heritage site. Chronology ( 2 items ) One of the key issues in understanding the demise of Angkor is the lack of chronological resolution for the very large amount of surface archaeological data that we currently have. Aside from excavations, a number of projects seek to address this issue. Monuments and Archaeology ( 1 items ) Several researchers are using quantitative methods to re-evaluate long-held opinions in areas as diverse as the epigraphic record and the deveopment of architectural style.
