Archaeological skills include archaeological formation processes, botanical analysis, cartography, ceramic analysis, dating methods, faunal analysis, geographic information systems, geology, geophysics, genetics, osteology, remote sensing, soil chemistry, and statistics.
Finally, if the publicly accessible output of an assessment process is a reasonable cartography of alternative policy pathways and their implications, this can influence broader public discourses and, with it, put some pressure on governments to also accept inconvenient insights.
Maps should rather be understood and treated as a means of communication; therefore it is necessary to contest the process of objectification in cartography, or to reflect the objectification itself as cultural code.
The cartography was processed to develop landscape indicators by using spatial analysis tools.
Since the 1980s, SGOS has made great advancements in research on the change of natural environment, river and hydrologic processes, coastal landforms and deposition, cartography, GIS and remote sensing technology, urban planning and land use planning.
District and upazila cartography has been processed at the Geographic information system (GIS) and cartographic laboratory set up for the Banglapedia.
In Mapping the Nation, Susan Schulten charts how maps of epidemic disease, slavery, census statistics, the environment, and the past demonstrated the analytical potential of cartography, and in the process transformed the very meaning of a map.
"Highly complex, heterogenous, enfolded cartographies emerge through this process that bring into relation spaces suggestive of technology, networks, the airborne, the sub-oceanic, morse, telecommunication, virus, cellular mitochondria, geology, aerial views of cities, the movements of code, data, plankton, astronomy, notation, etc".
We conceptualise this social accounting process as analogous to mapmaking, iteratively drawing and redrawing the local social geography, prioritising the representation of the company over time in a process of thematic cartography which records growing local acceptance of, and deference to, the company.
Registerial cartography can be seen as a process of filling in certain descriptive gaps in our account of language in context (or, more generally, of language and other denotative semiotic systems in contexta) — that is, filling in gaps that we have been able to identify when we survey the territory of meaning.
