Contents:
Frontmatter -- Preface -- Contents -- Introduction / Paliou, Eleftheria -- Spatial analysis and cultural information: the need for theory as well as method in space syntax analysis / Hillier, Bill -- From building to architecture: The rise of configurational thinking in Bronze Age Crete / Letesson, Quentin -- Visibility analysis in 3D built spaces: a new dimension to the understanding of social space / Paliou, Eleftheria -- Connecting landscapes with built environments: visibility analysis, scale and the senses / Wheatley, David -- Formal three-dimensional computational analyses of archaeological spaces / Papadopoulos, Constantinos ; Earl, Graeme -- Investigating monumental social space in Late Bronze Age Cyprus: an integrative approach / Fisher, Kevin D. -- Three tales of two cities? A comparative analysis of topological, visual and metric properties of archaeological space in Malia and Pylos / Hacıgüzeller, Piraye ; Thaler, Ulrich -- Spatial analysis of past built environments: Houses and society in the Aegean from the Early Iron Age till the impact of Rome / Bintliff, John -- Indicating street vitality in excavated towns. Spatial configurative analyses applied to Pompeii / Nes, Akkelies van -- The spatial signature of an Insula neighbourhood of Roman Ostia / Stöger, Hanna -- List of contributors -- About the editors.
Summary: In recent years a range of formal methods of spatial analysis have been developed for the study of human engagement, experience and socialisation within the built environment. This volume brings together contributions from a number of specialists in archaeology, social theory, architecture, and urban planning, who explore the theoretical and methodological frameworks associated with the application of established and novel spatial analysis methods in prehistoric and historic built environments. The authors discuss the relationship between space and social life from different perspectives and provide many illuminating examples of computer-based spatial analysis methods in archaeology.
