Table 16 Distance ranges used in visibility analyses
From: A multiscalar methodology for holistic analysis of prehistoric rock carvings in Scotland
Range | Distance | Characterization |
|---|---|---|
Identification | 0–50 m | Potential to identify motifs and/or the panel |
Recognition | 50–100 m | Potential to recognise the rock and/or other identifiable features surrounding it |
Detection | 100–500 m | Potential to detect the approximate location of the panel |
Observation | 500–1000 m | Potential to observe the wider area in which the panel is situated |
Beyond visual detection | > 1000 m | Probably no visual perception of the panel or its location in the landscape |
