Footprints and cartwheels on a pixel road: on the applicability of GIS for the modelling of ancient (Roman) routes

GIS-based digital modelling tools, such as the well-known least cost paths (LCP), have been widely used in archaeology in recent years as ways of approaching forms of mobility in the past. Roman roads are among the best-known examples of ancient networks of paths and have been widely studied using s...
