description: Areal analysis in geoarchaeological applications can be improved by implementing a wider set of geoecological parameters in order to provide more precise results. The aim of the paper is to show how geoscientific ground-truth and techniques can be used for detailed archaeological studies using a comprehensive set of environmental variables that might have influenced ancient settlement patterns. The project focuses on spatial patterns of archaeological sites, as well as Bronze Age communication paths in Central Crete by using a multi-methodical approach (surveying, Remote Sensing, DEM-analysis, least-cost analysis, candidate site detection, predictive modelling, etc.). In contrast to conventional archaeological GIS applications this enhanced strategy offers promising prospects regarding landscape and settlement modelling.
