I am currently mapping (re-tracing) the construction of the Zambian road network from the early 1970s to now, using satellite images, GIS and remote sensing. I want to then connect this data with information about how these roads were built, i.e. information about the lives and careers of the workers and contractors who were involved in the manifestation of these roads and with information about the lives that were changed by the existence of the finished roads. If anyone has any ideas about how such information might be creatively found, or if anyone wants to collaborate with me, please collaborate and share your thoughts with me!

Adding my photos of what I call the "Palo Alto Urban Petroglyph Project." I'm sure there will be differing opinions as to whether or not these are true petroglyphs, but I found them all along one single road in Palo Alto. They clearly weren't all made to repair road cracks. You can find some of my images here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/23526605@N00/sets/72157594241400279/
