Abstract
Tailoring GIS software for archaeological applications: an example concerning viewshed analysis
M W Lake
Patricia E Woodman
Steven J Mithen
27 - 38
Describes the development and use of a new program designed to automate the process of cumulative viewshed analysis using Mesolithic site location on Islay (Argyll & Bute) as a case study. Two methods for adding new utility to the GRASS GIS are compared and it is concluded that native-code programming is the only viable option. Then, a method for cumulative viewshed analysis which makes use of random sampling is presented. This method reduces the time required for the case study from approximately 1,000 days to under twenty-four hours. The paper illustrates how the archaeological potential of GIS can be greatly enhanced by modifying the software to address specific archaeological problems.
Numerical analysis of subfossil wet-ground molluscan taxocenes from overbank alluvium at Kingsmead Bridge, Wiltshire
Paul Davies
39 - 52
Reports the analysis of data using Detrended Correspondence Analysis in order to establish whether the applied taxocenes have any numerical basis. Although matching between ordinated DCA groups and subjectively applied taxocenes does not always prove to be precise, the technique does prove useful in highlighting certain aspects of the data.
