Least Cost Path Modeling Between Inka and Amazon Civilizations
Least Cost Path Analysis (LCPA) is a GIS-based approach for calculating the most efficient route between a start and end point, often in terms of shortest time or least amount of energy. The approach is often applied in archaeology to estimate locations of sites, and routes between them. We applied …
