Abstract:
Due to increased urbanization and development in the 21st century, archaeological evidence of road networks has grown more difficult to acquire. Landscape archaeology has tools to continue investigating routes and road networks, such as by using GIS’ Least-Cost Path Analysis. A Least-Cost Path was done with ArcGIS Pro between Berytus and Heliopolis, with Mtein as a midpoint. A survey then determined that the Least-Cost Path’s results were accurate and 1.65 km of road remains were located. The study succeeded in determining that Least-Cost Path Analysis is a practical tool for researchers in the field of landscape archaeology.
