对基西拉岛（希腊）进行的深入考古调查以前所未有的细节揭示了可追溯到公元前 2 世纪中期的分散乡村定居点景观。本文部署了一系列地理信息系统和空间分析技术，从社会组织、农业和岛屿人口学方面阐明了这一景观的结构方式。讨论从量化站点数量、大小和层次结构开始。然后，它研究了定居点分散的模式，强调了可能支撑这种景观的生存策略。重点放在尽可能重建殖民动态和遗址选址背后的动机。最后一部分提出了该岛的人口数据，并考虑了一系列地点层面的互动。
Intensive archaeological survey on the island of Kythera (Greece) has revealed, in unprecedented detail, a landscape of dispersed rural settlements dating to the mid-2nd millennium BC. This paper deploys a series of GIS and spatial analysis techniques to illuminate the way this landscape was structured, in terms of social organization, agriculture and island demography. Discussion begins by quantifying site numbers, size and hierarchy. It then examines patterns of settlement dispersal, highlighting the subsistence strategies probably underpinning such a landscape. Emphasis is placed on reconstructing where possible the dynamics of colonization and the motivations behind site location. A final section proposes population figures for the island and considers a range of site-level interactions.
