Pathways through the Avebury Landscape; A study of spatial relationships associated with the Beckhampton Avenue, Avebury, Wilts. (original) (raw)

This project is an investigation into the spatial relationships associated with the Beckhampton Avenue, Avebury, Wilts. through the Neolithic period; The study region comprises the Beckhampton avenue and its environs. Notably, the study will attempt to investigate dynamic spatial relationships, i.e. those associated with moving around/through a landscape rather than from static viewpoints, as a means to shed light on the position and development of the Beckhampton Avenue, which can be seen as a formalised route, influencing movement. These relationships are to be investigated by means of the concept of intervisibility using both the analytical approach afforded by GIS techniques and a more subjective, reflexive approach facilitated by an interactive three-dimensional model.
