I am Kris Nackaerts, student at KUL (Catholic University in Louvain,
Belgium). I do a thesis about sight-distances from defence towers around a
site in Turkey etc. I will do this with GIS-software. A friend told me of
some french researchers used GRASS for a similar problem (the position of
roman roads in function of the visibility from roman forts...or something
like this). Is there anyone who can give me more information about this and
about other applications of GIS in archaeology.

Hi Kris,
        you're probably looking for one of Scott Madry's publications. I
know he's at the University of Purdue. Hopefully you can find him, or it,
using this information.
