Abstract
This paper aims to analyze the distribution of features and artifacts
uncovered from the Wansan Site in Yilan County by using the Geographic
Information System (GIS), particularly focusing on searching for possible house
locations through assessing the relationships between the postholes and
artifacts. We attempt to explore intra-site spatial patterns in order to set up a
foundation for further understanding the Wansan people’s daily life.
Three steps are proposed to explore possible locations of the houses.
First, we inspect whether the postholes form any visually recognizable groups
on maps. Second, we explore the characteristics, differences and spatial
relations of these visually recognizable groups by overlaying different maps of
burials and artifacts. Last, we use two spatial statistical methods to test whether
these posthole groups are also statistically significant.
