Archaeological Use of the Universal Transverse Mercator Grid
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 January 2017
Abstract
The Universal Transverse Mercator Grid is a rectangular grid system now used on all standard military maps. Archaeologists could use this system for site location, which would prove especially beneficial in areas where townships and range grids have not been drawn. The use of the series of numbers in the system would help eliminate duplication in state or regional site files.
