ANTH 124A: Maritime Archaeology GIS Project

Plot Artifact Locations

We will practice plotting artifact locations as point data in ArcGIS Pro using a spreadsheet of artifacts that were documented during a 2001 dive at the HMS Colossus wreck site. The spreadsheet we're using will have our XY coordinate data represented in the form of eastings and northings. The Add XY Data tool also works with data that's represented as latitude/longitude coordinates.

If you need help differentiating between eastings and northings, eastings (x) run east/west and northings (y) run north/south.
