Abstract

Locomotion and distance are essential elements of the human life. However, in spite of its importance, these concepts have been treated in a simple way for archaeology, mainly for Site Catchment Analysis. The most traditional models of Site Catchment deal with the space as a neutral cartesian element. In the last years the use of the GIS has allowed the determination of Site Catchments in more realistic way, mainly when considering physiological factors and elements of perception in the modeling of the exploration territories. The proposal of this article is to present an example of the use of these new models and to test its validity as interpretation method.
