Computational Approaches to the Study of Movement in Archaeology: Theory, Practice and Interpretation of Factors and Effects of Long Term Landscape Formation and Transformation
This book contains a collection of papers
discussing questions related to space and movement in the framework of
computational archaeology, landscape archaeology, historical geography
and archaeological theory. The contributions, written by recognized
experts in the field, show how the study of settlements pattern and
movement has been dramatically transformed by the use of technology like
Geographic Information System (GIS). The papers focus on the ways to
approach past movement using GIS in archaeological landscape studies:
theoretical, technical and interpretative issues are addressed and
explored. They provide the state of the art in theory and methodology
and show, by using case studies, the potential of the developed
approaches for the understanding of factors and effects of landscape
formation and transformation in the long term.
