While geographic information systems (GIS) are used in many aspects of archaeological research there are several barriers preventing larger scale and more sophisticated use beyond simple viewing of spatial data. A questionnaire survey of environmental archaeologists has been conducted to identify those barriers and gather information about general familiarity with GIS. The results suggest that the problem lies especially in the lack of funding, insufficient practical skills and inadequate data sources. A solution is proposed in the form of a Web- GIS framework that should mitigate some of the barriers, and facilitate interdisciplinary research. This paper presents the results of the first stage of the InterSecT project.

Presented article provides a multi-faceted study of the factors that have led to the emergence, development and disappearance of the well-known early intermediate period Nazca culture. Obtained results clearly indicate that the cause of this complex and long-lasting civilization changes of an evolutionary nature were largely the environmental impact and climate changes at the turn of early intermediate period and middle horizon resulting from both external factors (effects of the Super ENSO) and human activity, such as the huarango copses deforestation. In this context, it is worth emphasizing the importance of widely understood paleoecological analyzes and bioarchaeological studies that are part of the so-called environmental archaeology — transdisciplinary research conducted in close cooperation with specialists from various scientific disciplines.
