在这项工作中，我们试图通过分析地貌单元图之间的空间关系来推断沿海试点地区的聚落规则和考古遗址格局，这些地貌单元图是由地貌分析和考古证据相结合的、在地理信息系统支持下的地貌提取过程得出的。这一方法已在巴西利亚塔地区的爱奥尼亚沿海地区进行了试验，在欧洲共同体资助的多学科项目MeTIBas(意大利语，巴西利亚塔地区文化遗产创新方法和技术的缩写)的框架内进行了详细的地质考古研究。研究区域延伸到意大利南部布拉达诺山脉的最南端，与希腊的定居地梅塔普托及其乔拉(希腊殖民者影响的地区)大致重合。考古调查涉及约1400个遗址，包括重新检查文献数据和新的实地调查。根据本文提出的方法得出的景观元素与考古遗址之间的关系进行了统计调查，以得出聚落模式和规律。结果突出了已确定的考古遗址类别在缓坡海洋梯田表面及其边缘附近的优先分布，从而意味着Metaponto领土的定居动态部分受地形位置的驱动。
In this work we tried to infer the settlement rules and archaeological site patterns in pilot coastal area with high “archaeological potential” through the analysis of the spatial relationships between landform unit maps deriving from a GIS-supported procedure of landform extraction integrated with geomorphological analyses and archaeological evidence. This approach has been tested in the coastal Ionian sector of the Basilicata region, where a detailed geoarchaeological research has been carried out in the frame of the multidisciplinary MeTIBas project (the Italian acronyms for Innovative Methods and Technologies for the Cultural Heritages in the Basilicata region), funded by the European Community. The study area extends on the southernmost part of the Bradano Foredeep, southern Italy, and roughly coincides with the Greek settlement territory of Metaponto and its Chora (the area of influence of Greek colonists). Archaeological investigations, regarding about 1400 sites, consisted of a re-examination of literature data and new field surveys. The relationships between landscape elements deriving from the procedure here proposed and archaeological sites have been statistically investigated to derive settlement patterns and rules. Results highlight a preferential distribution of the identified categories of archaeological sites on gently-dipping marine terrace surfaces and near their edges, thus implying that settlement dynamics of the Metaponto territory partially driven by the topographic position.
