The Center for Advanced Spatial Technologies National Database of GIS Data
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
Description
The Center for Advanced Spatial Technologies (CAST) National Database of GIS data presented here have been collected at The Center for Advanced Spatial Technologies (CAST) with funding provided from the Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (CERL) of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and the National Park Service (NPS). This data has been gathered in anticipation of a National Archeological Overview.
The Legacy program supervised by the Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (CERL) of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has funded two regional archeological studies: the Southwest Division Overview (SWDO) and the The Central and Northern Plains Overview (CNPO). Both projects involved the compilation of archeological subregional syntheses, the collection of archeological citations most significant to these areas cultural resource management and the creation of GIS layers showing both the extent of cultural resources and environmental trends.

The Construction Engineering Research Laboratory funded CAST for one year to gather a very extensive set of National GIS layers in order to demonstrate the need, feasibility and potentials for a national study which would use spatial data as a base for analysis. The data originates from census information, remote sensing studies, data collected at specific points/stations. It is related to several themes tightly connected to the understanding of cultural resources: archeological site distribution, climate, tree-ring, pollen studies, vegetation, agriculture and population.
