Remote Roman Fortifications: The Forts of the Kharga Oasis

Geographical networks of British hill forts using intervisibility graphs

We present a range of exploratory methods at the intersection of geographical analysis and graph/network theory to investigate placement of Bronze age and Iron age hill forts in a landscape, utilising varying degrees of domain knowledge (expert/archaeologist). Techniques that we employ include: intervisibility/line-of-sight; visible area of hillforts; landcover and geomorphometrics; and network...
