The document discusses using computational approaches to model movement and perception in prehistoric landscapes. It summarizes previous work using visibility analysis and identifies limitations in only using static viewsheds. The proposed approach integrates 2D GIS analysis, 3D visualization tools, and image analysis to model landscape perception and movement as humans interacted dynamically with their environment over time. The goal is a holistic investigation of how understanding of landscape was constructed through these interactions.
