Archaeological spatial analysis and GIS in a small fortification: Ephemeral occupations along the border during the 'Conquest of Desert' process in Argentinean Pampas (19th Century)

Analytical steps in this research on spatial distributions have been developed from free GIS platform (QGIS) and geostatistical methods. Our aims are to establish an efficient fieldwork, to quantify and characterize spatial distributions, and -according the results obtained-, to solve the problem related with building potential locations, for which we have estimated the probability of a structure location in terms of subareas with significantly low-density distributions of remains.
