Sherds on the map. Intra-site GIS of the Neolithic site of Bylany (Czech Republic)
Original language description
The aim of this paper is to point out the capabilities of GIS technology to solve questions of micro-scale formation processes of the archaeological record. Micro-scale spatial analysis is rarely applied in archaeology outside hunter-gatherer studies. This case study is based on data obtained during rescue excavations at the Neolithic site of Bylany (Czech Republic). The excavation method applied here enabled research into the formation processes of archaeological materials at the scale of individual pits. The obtained data were processed and analyzed in ArcGIS 9.3 and its extensions Spatial Analyst and 3D Analyst. The result consisted of a spatial model of the particular pit including its fill layers and individual artefacts. The model leads to an interpretation of the depositional history of the pit. This history apparently reflects a series of events that are mostly the result of intentional human activity.
