Abstract
This paper is a new approach to the study of the Palaeolithic sites located in the Monforte de Lemos basin. Their distributional study allow us to charasterize the settlement patterns since the Lower Paleolithic (Mode 2) to the Upper Paleolithic (Mode 4) Geographic Information Systems have been applied in order to define the different patterns and to perform Terrain Analysis such as the calculation of aspect, slope, average height, least-cost paths, visibility and proximity to river courses and routes. This spatial and diachronic approach allow identifying the evolution and variability of the settlement patterns of the paleolithic sites adscribed to the Mode 2, Mode 3 and Mode 4.
Keywords:
