Abstract


One of the most interesting subjects in post-structural landscape studies is the analysis of the relationships between its natural and cultural components: the structuring of the landscape, with the identification of the social practices and patterns of movement that took part around them. These patterns depend both on the natural form of the terrain and on socio-cultural decisions. In relation to the settlement pattern and distribution of rock art sites in the central- Mediterranean coastal area of Spain, a method is proposed to evaluate the role of cultural aspects of landscape in computing least-cost paths.
