Abstract
Mobility is one of the main characteristics of hunter-gatherers and early plant cultivators.Since the 90s, world-wide, mobility studies have made strong progress thanks to the application of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), involving travel-cost analysis and route modelling, and how these relate to resource accessibility, group interaction, and territoriality.This paper presents a simulation of mobility routes in the Middle Cauca, an Andean region located in the Colombian Macizo Volcanico (Cordillera Central), where there is a very complete sequence of preceramic occupations from the Late Pleistocene to the Middle Holocene.We use GIS to tackle this task, by means of cost analysis tools, specifically MADO analysis and least-cost paths generation. Results show a significant association between archaeological sites and potential routes, as well as a coherent and articulated mobility network.
期刊介绍:
Trabajos de Prehistoria is the Spanish Journal of Prehistory that appears most regularly. It has been published by the Department of Prehistory (CSIC) since its creation by Professor Dr. Martín Almagro Basch in 1960. It was a monograph series until 1968 when it was changed into annual journal. In 1994 it became the only semestral periodical of its speciality published in the Iberian Peninsula. The first issue comes out in June and the second in December. The continuous appearance of the journal, its general scope, and the quality of its content have given it a preeminent position in Iberia and an important one on the international scene.
