Résumé
This paper discusses a methodology for evaluating the viewshed of megalithic sites. Our proposal in grounded on the application of two algorithms: the prominence index or percentile of elevation, and the fuzzy viewshed modified for accounting the size of the observed object. Through these algorithms, we have characterised the visual panorama of megalithic burials from an area of the inner Tagus basin during the 4th and 3rd millennium cal BC. Our aim is to understand if viewsheds were a partial criteria that determined the location of megaliths in landscape.
