The archaeological analysis of Historical mobility is an increasingly studied topic thanks to new geographic information technologies. This paper proposes a modelling exercise of the spatial behaviour of a Second Iron Age community in the Middle Tagus Valley: the hillfort of Villasviejas del Tamuja (Botija, Cáceres). Based on our knowledge of the configuration of the site and the surrounding settlements, we propose a heuristic use of a series of GIS tools to understand how the spatial relationship between both elements was structured. More specifically, we compare the results obtained with different calculation methods that combine two essential variables to address this issue: mobility and visibility relations. On the one hand, we evaluate the results with the application of an already developed methodology: the MADO analysis. On the other hand, we present a complementary procedure for the calculation of Least Cost Paths (LCP), considering the visibility as a key element in the mobility. The methodology uses the same data, in a paradigmatic case study for comparing results. The differences obtained through the use of different tools are thus evaluated in order to weigh up the additional or complementary knowledge that they can provide us with to investigate archaeological research questions such as the defensive architecture of the hillfort or the distribution of other nearby settlements.

考古遗址地面流动性 GIS 建模的比较方法。 Villasviejas del Tamuja 的铁器时代山堡作为研究案例


由于新的地理信息技术，历史流动性的考古分析成为一个越来越多的研究课题。本文提出了对塔霍河谷中部第二铁器时代社区的空间行为进行建模：Villasviejas del Tamuja（博蒂哈，卡塞雷斯）的山堡。根据我们对场地和周围住区配置的了解，我们建议启发式地使用一系列 GIS 工具来了解两个元素之间的空间关系是如何构建的。更具体地说，我们比较了不同计算方法获得的结果，这些方法结合了两个基本变量来解决这个问题：移动性和可见性关系。一方面，我们应用已经开发的方法来评估结果：MADO 分析。另一方面，我们提出了计算最低成本路径（LCP）的补充程序，将可见性视为移动性的关键要素。该方法在典型案例研究中使用相同的数据来比较结果。因此，对通过使用不同工具获得的差异进行评估，以权衡它们可以为我们提供的额外或补充知识，以调查考古研究问题，例如山堡的防御建筑或其他附近定居点的分布。
