GIS-based landform classification of Bronze Age archaeological sites on Crete Island
Various physical attributes of the Earth's surface are factors that influence local topography and indirectly influence human behaviour in terms of habitation locations. The determination of geomorphological setting plays an important role in archaeological landscape research. Several landform types can be distinguished by characteristic geomorphic attributes that portray the landscape surround...
متن کاملLANDFORM – GIS based generation of topographic attributes for landform classification in Australia
This paper presents LANDFORM, a customized GIS application for semi-automated landform classification based on the definitions of SPEIGHT (1990). A set of commands for GeoMedia was developed for an easy step-by-step generation of topographic attributes for the classification of landform elements. Using the new commands topographic attributes like curvature or elevation percentile were derived f...
متن کاملTrauma in human remains from Bronze Age and Iron Age archaeological sites in Armenia
is paper reports on the prevalence of traumatic bone lesions among Bronze and Iron Age populations in Armenia. A total of 51 traumatic injuries were observed in a sample of 147 individuals from 8 sites. Injuries were present in 37 males (46.3%, n=80), 13 females (28.9%, n=45), and 1 child (5%, n=20). In four sites (N. Getashen, Noraduz, Shirakavan and Lori Berd) the most affected age class was...
متن کاملA European population in Minoan Bronze Age Crete
The first advanced Bronze Age civilization of Europe was established by the Minoans about 5,000 years before present. Since Sir Arthur Evans exposed the Minoan civic centre of Knossos, archaeologists have speculated on the origin of the founders of the civilization. Evans proposed a North African origin; Cycladic, Balkan, Anatolian and Middle Eastern origins have also been proposed. Here we add...
متن کاملA Semi-automated Approach for Gis Based Generation of Topographic Attributes for Landform Classification
This paper presents LANDFORM, a customized GIS application for semi-automated classification of landform elements, based on landscape parameters. Using custom commands, topographic attributes like curvature or elevation percentile were derived from a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) and used as thresholds for the classification of Crests, Flats, Depressions and Simple Slopes. With a new method, Si...
