Spatial analysis of the Bronze Age sites of the region of Paphos in southwest Cyprus with the use of Geographical Information Systems - CAA

Surface analysis is also a very popular research area in GIS/Archaeology. I want to write more about Least-Cost Analysis in GIS later.

This work was mede by:
University of Cyprus, Archaeological Research Unit and Laboratory of Geophysical – Satellite Remote Sensing and Archaeo-environment, Institute for Mediterranean Studies, Foundation for Research and Technology




Part of Introcuction:

"The paper aims to study the Bronze Age site
distribution in the region of Paphos in SW Cyprus in
order to interpret site patterns. In the context of the
Paphos pilot project, entitled, “A long-term response
to the need to make modern development and the
preservation of the archaeo-cultural record mutually
compatible operations” (IACOVOU et al. 2009),
spatial analysis was performed, with the use of
Geographic Information Systems (GIS), on sites of
the Early, Middle and Late Cypriot period (3rd and
2nd millennium BC) that have been reported from
the region to this date...."
