Abstract

In order to accomplish the proposed results, a series of modern research techniques were used. The DTM was generated by digitizing topographic plans scale 1:5000 (1979 edition), which was basically the base layer for other geospatial and archaeological data. Other maps from different years and scale were integrated in the study. Digital data was combined with data from the fieldtrips, GPS and geomorphological surveys. Finally, all the spatial data (geographical and archaeological) was integrated in a GIS database and, in this way, a high diversity of spatial analysis was possible (proximity analysis, viewshed analysis, 3D visualisation, etc).
