GIS allows the researcher to make beter use of these sources. A leading
example of this is the work of B. M. S. Campbell and colleagues, who use
the early fourteenth-century Inquisitiones Post Mortem - effectively the
wills of rich landowners - to explore medieval land use across England.
K. Bartley and B. Campbell, “ Inquisitiones Post Mortem, GIS, and the
Creation of a Land-Use Map of Medieval England,” Transactions in GIS
2 (1997): 333-46 describes how the database underlying this research was
created, while B. M. S. Campbell, English Seigniorial Agriculture 1250-1450
(Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2000) and B. M. S. Campbell
and K. Bartley, England on the Eve of the Black Death: An Atlas of Lay
Lordship, Land and Wealth, 1300-49 (Manchester: Manchester Univer-
sity Press, 2006) presents the research that developed from this resource.
GIS has also been used at a more local scale to explore medieval
towns and setlements, as described by K. Lilley, C. Lloyd, and S. Trick,
“Mapping Medieval Urban Landscapes: The Design and Planning of
Edward I's New Towns of England and Wales,” Antiquity 79, no. 303
(2005) (htp://www.antiquity.ac.uk); and K. Lilley, C. Lloyd, S. Trick,
and C. Graham, “Mapping and Analyzing Medieval Built Form Using
GPS and GIS,” Urban Morphology 9 (2005): 5-15.
Fi na l ly, GIS has been used to explore medieval and ancient maps
and what they reveal both about the map maker or makers and the areas
that they were mapping. C. D. Lloyd and K. D. Lilley, “Cartographic
Veracity in Medieval Mapping: Analyzing Geographical Variation in
the Gough Map of Great Britain,” Annals of the Association of American
Geographers 99 (2009): 27-48 explores a medieval map of Britain; and
R. J. A. Talbert and T. Elliot, “New Windows on the Peutinger Map of
the Roman World,” in Knowles, Placing History, 199-218 explores an even
older map of the Roman world, the original of which is believed to date
from around ad 300.
Toward Humanities GIS and Spatial Humanities
In addition to the progress that GIS has made in history, there is also an
increasing trend for it to be used in other disciplines within the humani-
ties, leading to the development of humanities GIS and spatial history.
