The study of the cultural heritage, related with the human history in general, is a long-term and multi-disciplinary complex task with important significance. New methods and techniques such as the spatial information technology will remarkably help clarify the time and spatial characteristics of the cultural heritage. As is known, the spatial information technology has been widely used in many aspects of cultural heritage researches due to its powerful capabilities to acquire, store, represent and analyze the spatial data. This paper discuses the current status and the latest progress of the spatial information technology application in the cultural heritage from several key aspects, i.e., various detection techniques, data integration, representative visualization, spatial information intelligent analysis of heritage sites and the comprehensive application of the multiple spatial information technology. The results show that the research in this field is more and more concerned with network, integration and intelligent level.
