ABSTRACT
The author presents case studies relating to historic land use in the Roman province of Pannonia, and shows how geospatial methods can be used in archaeological research for the detection and analysis of linear features. The methodology is based on remote sensing, GIS and statistical methods. The data used for the analysis are a collection of satellite images, orthophotos, historic and current cadastral maps. The results of the analysis are visualised in the form of maps and diagrams. The main topics of the chapter are how to characterise, by their orientation, the lineations created by land use and to analyse change between ancient and recent linear landscape elements.
