Abstract

Archaeological Potential Modelling through the application of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is increasingly gaining popularity in the archaeological and business communities as an efficient cost-effective way to manage and protect the cultural heritage. However, since for the most part the variables used are environmental (e.g. aspect, slope, elevation, distance to water) the greatest challenge that the modeller faces is related to the quality of data entered to produce the digital surfaces on which the spatial analysis will be based.
