| Реферат: | eng: The application of GIS-based technologies for spatial analysis of archaeological sites is presented within the landscape archaeology field. The methods developed are tested on the archaeological data of the Bronze Age: the medieval sites of the central Baraba Lowland. Due to the regional features, several standard procedures such as cost distance analysis, cumulative viewshed analysis, and kernel density were found to be ineffective. The main parameters used are localization of sites on certain landforms (river valleys, erosion remnants of watershed surfaces, places near the edge of watershed, hilly plain and ridges), absolute elevation and the degree of remoteness from the nearby river, and also the percentage of landforms (river valleys, paleolake depressions and hilly plain) within the potential resource circle with a radius of 5 km. As an additional criterion to compare the groups of the sites belonging to different epochs and archaeological cultures, the geomorphological index of moistening was used; it was calculated based on the geomorphic position of the sites. It is assumed that the higher the index, the wetter climate existed during the functioning of the site. It was found that the average values of parameters calculated for each epoch allow distinguishing only general trends. When analysis is performed on the level of culture (each epoch consists of several cultures), individual patterns for each culture can be observed. Cultures similar in terms of geomorphological characteristics are combined into groups; for the Bronze Age, they are the Ust-Tartas culture and the Bayryk type, the Odino, Krotovo and Irmen cultures. The Early Iron Age and Medieval cultures have more diverse parameters, and it is not easy to combine them into groups. For each archaeological culture, the exact set of characteristics was determined, this is why the results obtained allowed the authors to get new data on geomorphological localization of sites belong to different cultures. Besides this, the dependence of geomorphological position on paleoclimatic conditions and ancient economy was confirmed for the Baraba Lowland. The methods developed by the authors can be applied to forest steppe, steppe and semi-desert regions. The results generated form the basis for future investigations, including the creation of predictive models for mapping potentially perspective areas to search new sites and more precise cultural attribution of sites determined only to the epoch level today.
