Abstract:
The paper explores the combination of Thiessen polygons and viewshed analysis for the generation of hypothetical prehistoric territories for a group of Iron Age hillforts in Spain, and asks whether the combined results suggest a ranking of hillforts in a stratified regional system, or whether their territories are consistent with a peer-polity system.
