Formative 1 Maps

The areas of occupation for the Formative 1 in the three survey zones (western, central, and eastern) 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 TIFF 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:

For Idrisi files, click here to download the file WESTERN_FORM1_IDRISI.EXE (68 KB) or the file CENTRAL_FORM1_IDRISI.EXE (34 KB) or the file EASTERN_FORM1_IDRISI.EXE (50 KB).

For TIFF files, click here to download the file WESTERN_FORM1_TIFF.EXE (68 KB) or the file CENTRAL_FORM1_TIFF.EXE (34 KB) or the file EASTERN_FORM1_TIFF.EXE (50 KB).

Recent Maps

The areas of occupation for the Recent in the three survey zones 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 TIFF compressed file will produce two files with the same name and the extensions .TIF and .TFW. For the central and eastern survey zones, there are three maps, one corresponding to each of the three ceramic types that pertain to the Recent period (Barranquilla, California, and Mirador). The cell values in the GIS files are as follows:

Modern Maps

The distribution of modern occupation in the western survey zone as analyzed in Chapter 3.2 is 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.
