Archaeological methodology applied to the analysis of battlefields and military camps of the Second Punic War: Baecula

摘要

This paper is a synopsis of the archaeological surface survey methodology applied to the location and analysis of a Second Punic War battlefield at Baecula. The strategy undertaken has allowed us to reconstruct the battle scene and analyse its material remains, camps and other elements and load them into a GIS, which we are using to show the initial proposals for a micro-territorial analysis of the scenario. We present the application of the system to the visibilities of the battlefield between the armies, based strictly on the archaeological data recovered from it. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd and INQUA.
