Abstract: The settlements of various periods from the Neolithic Period to the end of the Iron Age has been determined at the Çanakkale central district surface survey conducted in 2016-2018. It has been mentioned that presence of satellite cities around Troy at the research at Troy. However, detailed information about the location, number, dimensions of these settlements are not available. This project has been developed upon the problem of whether there are settlements in the region that include contemporary layers with Troy. Prehistoric and Protohistoric Period studies concentrated in previously known settlements in the vicinity of Troy and more on the coastal plain. Since no work has been done covering from Neolithic Period to the end of the Iron Age all the central district borders of Çanakkale, the aim of this study detection of settlement patterns especially in this area and their connections with some settlements known like Troy. Spatial analysis of the data obtained from the archaeological survey of the central district of Çanakkale province was made using geographic information systems (GIS). In this study, Madenkaya/ Kaletaş Tepe sample was evaluated. The UAV images obtained during the surface survey were processed in Agisoft PhotoScan Professional software to obtain orthomosaic images, 3D point clouds, 3D surface model, digital elevation model (DEM) data, and contours. DEM data and contours were used for the spatial analysis slope map, aspect map, and visibility analysis by ArcGIS. Thus, the physical detail of the archeological settlements, their geographical location and topographic structure, and structural characteristics of settlement areas were well-determined using GIS-based spatial analysis methods in the central district boundaries of Çanakkale province.
