This repository is linked to a paper in Zephyrus "Analysing the sacred landscape in the Iberian Iron Age: GIS, caves and ritual performance" by Sonia Machause López and Agustín Diez Castillo. DOI: https://doi.org/10.14201/zephyrus202290135158.
Here you can find the Digital Terrain Model -DTM- used to create visilibity and network paths. Our DTM has been build merging several sheets -666, 667, 668, 694, 695, 696, 720, 721, 722- of the Digital Terrain Model known as DTM05 that can be downloaded from the Centro Nacional Información Geográfica -CNIG- "Centro de Descargas" -download hub-, the Spanish Goverment official provider of Geographic Information. The original product is described as a Digital Terrain Model 1st Coverage with 5 m grid spacing. The nine sheets were merged and croped to a final DTM of 7600 by 5600 with the following corner coordinates:
Upper Left ( 680000.000, 4403000.000)
Lower Left ( 680000.000, 4375000.000)
Upper Right ( 718000.000, 4403000.000)
Lower Right ( 718000.000, 4375000.000)
Center ( 699000.000, 4389000.000)
The DTM is fed to our R script along with the mock archaeological data of sites in the territory of Edeta.
There are two folders in the release: data [1] and code [2]. [1] Firstly, there are two Excel files referenced in the text
Supplementary Material 1: Table with alternative paths to Cueva Merinel. Ls: Llobera and Sluckin; Ug: Uriarte; ree: relative energetic expenditure cost function; hrz: Hezorg’s metabolic cost function; vl: Van Leusen’s metabolic cost function; p: Pandolf et al.’s metabolic energy expenditure cost function; icofp: Irmischer-Clarke’s hiking function (male, off-path); alb: Alberti (see Alberti 2019: 4).
Supplementary Material 2: Table with alternative paths to Cueva del Sapo. Ls: Llobera and Sluckin; Ug: Uriarte; ree: relative energetic expenditure cost function; hrz: Hezorg’s metabolic cost function; vl: Van Leusen’s metabolic cost function; p: Pandolf et al.’s metabolic energy expenditure cost function; icofp: Irmischer-Clarke’s hiking function (male, off-path); alb: Alberti (see Alberti 2019: 4).
Two maps referenced in the text like
Supplementary material 3: Possible boundaries between each oppida territory, applying the Ardigo et al. (2003) algorithm, as implemented in the Movecost package (Alberti, 2019). The red symbols represent Sapo -south one- and Merinel caves. The green dots represent the location of the main oppida neighbours of Edeta -E-. A=Arse, C=Carència, CMC=Castellar de Meca, CV=Cerro Viejo, IK=Ikalesken, K=Kelin, SA=SAITI, SU=Sucro. The numbers express the area of each oppidum in Km2.
and sup 4
Supplementary material 4: Map of Edeta’s road network (white) and transhumant historical cattle pathways of different width (green: 75,22 m; brown: 37,61 m; orange: 20,89 m; yellow: variable).
There are also several datasets that can be found in Zenodo. [2] Two R scripts: alloc_zephyrus.R This one allocate the land of each of the 9 oppida contained in a Rdata file using as Digital Elevation Model a 200x200 grid of the area. smez.R This one calculates the optimal and not so optimal files using data from the territory of Edeta using as Digital Elevation Model a 5x5 grid of the area.
