ABSTRACT
This chapter shows how GIS may be able to contribute, if not to a resolution of such problems, at least to helping resituate them within a more productive spatiotemporal framework. In this vein, the main function of the present contribution is to attempt to demonstrate the utility of GIS, not simply as a methodological tool, but more importantly, as a means of presenting a series of hypothetical scenarios which are relevant to our understanding of human/environment relationships. Additionally, as complexes of symbols and meaning structures, the territorial realization that we refer to as a specific archaeological site, incorporated, not simply a set of physical and material criteria, but reflected sets of values as to how space should be perceived and experienced.
