The Department of History and Social Sciences at Louisiana State University in Shreveport has used an Undergraduate Enhancement award to update a GIS facility to improve remote sensing capabilities essential to archaeological and social sciences mapping and discovery. With the new equipment faculty and students have been able to locate several previously unexplored archaeological sites. The survey activities made possible by Enhancement funding have already proven extremely valuable in mapping, recording and preserving historical sites and the cultural landscape throughout northern Louisiana, even as they assist developers and public works in making decisions about continuing development.
