Abstract

Nowadays, the GIS (Geographic Information System) application of least-cost path analyses (LCPs) is commonly used in archaeology, describing the best route to reach a destination. Due to different circumstances, the results are usually understood as wider transition areas rather than actual lanes. Therefore, this paper focuses on practical use of the application in order to trace not only historical routes but, first and foremost, historical roads. In a late Roman setting, transfer routes of soldiers moving from a military camp to watchtowers and back are researched. The investigation area covers the Danube Limes camp Favianis in Mautern (Lower Austria) and three adjacent burgi located to the west (Dunkelsteinerwald region). Addressing the main objective, the study includes the analysis of LCP parameters as well as the evaluation of the results by proof of existence and by contemporary dating.
