SEAHORS
is a R Shiny free open-source application that
makes the exploration of the spatial distribution of archaeological
objects fast and easy. Its main goal is to make the two and
three-dimensional spatial analysis of archaeological data as
user-friendly as possible. This is intended to lower the barrier for
users who are not familiar with GIS and R.
SEAHORS
has an easily accessible interface and uses text
and Excel files (CSV and XLS respectively). The application includes
functions to merge several databases, for example when spatial data and
analysis data are stored in separate files.
The application is demonstrated online here.
It can generate five types of plots:
SEAHORS
has visualization tools with several sorting and
formatting keys (colours) applicable to coordinates and all possible
analysis variables (i.e. levels, splits, analytical attributes).
