In the past decade a range of formal spatial analysis methods has
been developed for the study of human engagement, experience and
socialisation within the built environment. Many, although not all,
of these emanate from the fields of architectural and urban
studies, and draw upon social theories of space that lay emphasis
on the role of visibility, movement, and accessibility in the built
environment. These approaches are now gaining in popularity among
researchers of prehistoric and historic built spaces and are given
increasingly more weight in the interpretation of past urban
environments. Spatial Analysis and Social Spaces brings together
contributions from specialists in archaeology, social theory, and
urban planning who explore the theoretical and methodological
frameworks associated with the application of new and established
spatial analysis methods in past built environments. The focus is
mainly on more recent computer-based approaches and on techniques
such as access analysis, visibility graph analysis, isovist
analysis, agent-based models of pedestrian movement, and 3D
visibility approaches. The contributors to this volume examine the
relationship between space and social life from many different
perspectives, and provide illuminating examples from the
archaeology of Greece, Italy and Cyprus, in which intra-site
analysis offers valuable insights into the built spaces and
societies under study.
