AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Kvamme describes the computer methods used to 'investigate the defensive localities in the Klethla and Long House valleys. Broadly speaking, the goals of this work were (1) to create a computer representation or model of the landform of the region, (2) to use the landform model to allow the computer to identify potential defensive localities, and (3) using the landform model, to compute the presence or absence of intervisibility between each possible pair of potential defensive localities.' (page 171).
