Abstract:

This papers tries to illustrate the exploratory use of GIS within the context of landscape research in archaeology. Current landscape approaches incorporate important theoretical advancements which have made archaeologists sensitive to the subtleties of human space but these developments have not been matched by advances in method. The paper focuses on this aspect and thus should be seen as pilot example towards the development of new landscape methodology. Copyright 2001 Academic Press
