GIS-based reconstructions of Late Upper Paleolithic land use in the northeastern Bavarian low mountain range

从巴伐利亚州东北部的低山脉开始，已知有100个旧石器时代晚期晚期遗址，它们分布在一个景观变化很大的地区。这些地点的地形特征，加上对有代表性的岩石组合样本的实例分析，使利用地理信息系统和地质统计学能够重建土地使用模式。使用的主要参数是点对点站点汇水分析的结果以及每个站点的预测生态系统模型。这种创新的方法第一次能够在独立于考古遗址存在与否的大空间尺度上对承载能力进行评估。关于工作区内景观的可变性，预期对潜在生物资源的建模对场地分布有重大影响。为了详细说明这一点，正式工具的多样性以及原材料的采购将有助于对场地功能和住宅移动方向的假设。综合分析将被整合到巴伐利亚东北部低维持范围的旧石器时代晚期晚期土地利用的综合模型中。

From the northeastern low mountain ranges in Bavaria, 100 Late Upper Paleolithic sites are known, which are distributed over an area that includes a large variability of landscape. The topographical features of the sites, combined with the exemplified analysis of a representative sample of lithic assemblages, enables the reconstruction of land use patterns by using geographical information systems and geostatistics. Main parameters used are the results of a point-to-point site catchment analysis as well as a predictive ecosystem modelling for each site. This innovative approach enables for the first time an evaluation of the carrying capacities on a large spatial scale independent from the presence or absence of archaeological sites. With regard to the variability of the landscape in the working area, it is expected that the modelling of the potential biogenic resources had a major influence on the site distribution. To elaborate this, the diversity of the formal tools as well as the raw material procurement will help to make assumption on site function and direction of residential moves. The combined analysis will be integrated in a synthetic model of Late Upper Paleolithic land use in the northeastern Bavarian low maintain range.
