District Maps

The three survey zones were divided in the analyses in Chapters 3, 4, and 5 into supra-local communities, or districts. For the western survey zone, districts were defined for each of the five periods of occupation (Fig. 3.60). For the eastern and central survey zones, districts were defined only for the Regional Classic period (Figs. 4.19 and 5.18). The areas of these districts are provided in two GIS formats: Idrisi (Version 14--Kilimanjaro) and GEOTIFF raster files. These are compressed self-extracting files for Windows, and thus must be uncompressed on a computer running the Windows operating system. After downloading, place the files in the desired folder and double click them. Each Idrisi compressed file will produce two files with the same name and the extensions .RST and .RDC. Each GEOTIFF compressed file will produce two files with the same name and the extensions .TIF and .TFW. The cell values in the GIS files are as follows:
