ABSTRACT
Due to the lack of large-scale digitizing possibilities, the authors concentrated on pilot projects involving the intra-site analysis of archaeological data and spatial distribution studies. Emphasis has been placed on integrating other software, spreadsheet and database programs, with IDRISI to establish a more-or-less direct retrieval system for archaeological features which can be presented in the form of GIS images. After a primary analysis of the material by traditional archaeological methods, GIS techniques were applied to the excavation data. Consequently, our range of accuracy is on the order of a few dozen centimetres, which is adequate to handle the archaeological features as units with statistically relevant information. The raster size for the GIS analysis was set to a resolution of 0.5 m resulting in archaeological features under the size of 0.5 m being represented by points, i.e. one pixel.
