The protection for the megalithic landscape of the Gor river (Granada). Principles and methodology for delineating a territorial archaeological area
Abstract
The article presents the for the delineation and administrative protection of the megalithic necropolis of the river Gor. This project represents a milestone by transferring to the scope of heritage protection the territorial and landscape dimension inherent to megalithic phenomenon. The paper briefly reviews the history of megalithic protection in Andalusia. It also argues the fundamental role played by territorial and landscape analysis in proposing an extense delimitation for the so-called "Gor River Megalithic Landscape". Together with the theoretical criteria, the methodology reinforces the territorial approach through the systematic use of GIS to identify the areas of heritage value to be protected.
