无论是通过丰富的描述、简单的制图，还是正式的建模和统计分析，可见性分析在基于景观的考古研究中已经成为一种常见的方法，后者越来越多地使用GIS的视域功能进行。这里提出的研究挑战了当前对可见性的痴迷，而是将重点放在考虑不可见性的解释好处以及经常伴随景观运动和体验的可见性和隐蔽性的复杂相互作用上。在强调了使用传统考古技术分析相关属性（如不可见性和隐藏性）的困难之后，在对一系列非常小的、视觉上非侵入性的史前巨石纪念碑的原始研究的背景下，提出并评估了一系列新的GIS方法。研究结果挑战了对这些神秘地点的主流解释，并展示了基于gis的方法的实用性、价值和潜力。
Analyses of visibility have become a commonplace within landscape-based archaeological research, whether through rich description, simple mapping or formal modelling and statistical analysis, the latter increasingly carried out using the viewshed functionality of GIS. The research presented here challenges current obsessions with what is visible to focus instead upon the interpretative benefits of considering the invisible and the complex interplay of visibility and concealment that frequently accompany landscape movement and experience. Having highlighted the difficulties in analysing relational properties such as invisibility and hiding using traditional archaeological techniques, a series of new GIS methodologies are presented and evaluated in the context of an original study of a series of remarkably small, visually non-intrusive prehistoric megalithic monuments. The results serve to challenge dominant interpretations of these enigmatic sites as well as demonstrating the utility, value and potential of the GIS-based approaches developed.
