Abstract
dc.description.abstract
This paper discusses the variables and methodology involved in the geodetic transformations required for the
adjustment of the Easter Island Archaeological Survey's cartography — until recently supposed to be Datum Easter Island
1967 — into the current world geodetic system, WGS84, base of the NAVSTARGPS system, and explores the limitations for
archaeological fieldwork of the absolute method used by the "satellite navigators" in relation with the cartographic scales
considered.
