The Spatial Archaeometry Research Collaborations (SPARC)Program promotes the use of spatial analysis, 3D modeling, aerial and geophysical remote sensing technologies in archaeological research projects around the world. The increasing availability and sophistication of these technologies and methods profoundly affects how archaeologists and other scholars work. The things archaeologists study - from artifacts to sites to landscapes - almost always have a spatial component, and for many decades space has been viewed as one of the central dimensions of archaeological study. The capabilities of geospatial technologies to enhance the discovery and interpretation not only offers new data, but also creates entirely novel means of engaging with the archaeological record. Through the SPARC Program high impact projects seeking to explore and implement geospatial technologies and methods are selected based on peer reviewed applications. Their work is supported through close collaborations with experts in spatial archaeometry at The University of Arkansas' Center for Advanced Spatial Technologies (CAST), the University of Glasgow and Dartmouth University. Together, the teams at these institutions form a center for innovative geospatial research and methods in archaeology. Technical experts and research staff at CAST, Dartmouth and Glasgow actively promote geospatial technologies in archaeology, and collaborate with the selected projects, providing access to equipment, methodological and domain expertise, and intensive training.The Program's goals are to: enhance the research productivity of archaeological projects by making geospatial technologies available to researchers who would not otherwise have access to the tools or skills needed to collect and analyze these data; directly generate high value archaeological data by participating in fieldwork and analytical projects to efficiently collect and analyze geospatial data; provide training opportunities for students and professionals seeking to use geospatial techniques in their own research; promote the development of new geospatial methods and applications in archaeology and the visibility of these innovations in the broader archaeological community; and support good practice and promote innovation in archiving and publication of digital geospatial data. The new support from the NSF Archaeometry program will allow SPARC to continue building a program that is increasingly visible - attracting top research projects; efficient - as project staff build on their experience; high impact - as pilot projects build skills in research teams around the world; and innovative - with broader collaborations leading to significant methodological advancements.

空间考古学研究合作（SPAC）计划促进在世界各地的考古研究项目中使用空间分析，3D建模，航空和地球物理遥感技术。这些技术和方法的日益可用性和复杂性深刻地影响了考古学家和其他学者的工作方式。考古学家研究的东西--从文物到遗址再到景观--几乎都有空间的成分，几十年来，空间一直被视为考古学研究的中心维度之一。地理空间技术增强发现和解释的能力不仅提供了新的数据，而且还创造了与考古记录互动的全新手段。通过该计划，寻求探索和实施地理空间技术和方法的高影响力项目是根据同行评审的应用程序选择的。他们的工作得到了阿肯色州大学先进空间技术中心（CAST）、格拉斯哥大学和达特茅斯大学空间考古学专家的密切合作。这些机构的团队共同组成了一个创新地理空间研究和考古方法的中心。CAST、达特茅斯和格拉斯哥的技术专家和研究人员积极推动地理空间技术在考古学中的应用，并与选定的项目合作，提供设备、方法和领域专业知识以及强化培训。通过向研究人员提供地理空间技术，提高考古项目的研究生产力，否则他们将无法获得这些工具或技能需要收集和分析这些数据;通过参与实地工作和分析项目直接生成高价值的考古数据，以有效地收集和分析地理空间数据;为学生和专业人士提供培训机会，寻求在自己的研究中使用地理空间技术;促进新的地理空间方法的开发和在考古学中的应用，以及这些创新在更广泛的考古学中的可见度。社区;支持良好做法，促进数字地理空间数据存档和发布方面的创新。NSF考古学计划的新支持将使考古学家能够继续建立一个越来越明显的计划-吸引顶级研究项目;高效-项目工作人员利用他们的经验;高影响力-试点项目在世界各地的研究团队中培养技能;创新-更广泛的合作导致重大的方法进步。
