| Sumario: | [EN] The advancementin the historical researchof business activities,such asancient agricultureand specifically Romanviticulture,requires the knowledge of theproductive sites. This researchwill propose a way to interconnect the information contained in Latin agronomic tradition, in order to choose the placement of a production unit,using a geographical information system (GIS). TheLatin agronomist information,together withcurrent agricultural knowledge,may lead to a set of measurable,georeferencing criteria for futureprospecting, such aslandorientation to the winds and insolation, the soil types and the slope. Also, the proximity to terrestrial, fluvial and maritime communication routes, as well as cities and water supplywill be assessed.This methodology isappliedin the territory of the lower Guadalquivir (southwest Spain)achieving measurable criteria on a georeferencedmap, being able to classify the data andcreatecartography that showsthe best places for future archaeological prospecting. |
