Cybercartography and the historical geography of Roman Britain

Abstract

Abstract Adopting a multi-method geomatics approach offers fewer limitations to spatial research compared to the use of a single spatial tool. This research combines, Cybercartography, a geographic information system (GIS) with fuzzy set theory, and remote sensing in the study of Roman Britain. The cybercartographic framework Nunaliit offers a flexible environment for collecting and visualizing historical data. Building on this tool, GIS with fuzzy set theory was performed for a site selection analysis to determine potential sites to investigate using remote sensing image analysis techniques.
