Abstract
	This paper presents an application of GIS tools for investigating one aspect of the archaeological landscape: movement through it. The authors would like to provide an experimental procedure to obtain cost surfaces related to human movement in a given geographical area, taking into consideration a settlement perspective. This research mainly focuses on the insertion of the concept of round trip movement from a given location in a calculation of cost surface through the adaptation of one function available in the literature - related to human energy cost. After the explication of the procedure, the results and possible implications of this application are discussed using the Biferno Valley (Molise, Italy) as a case study.
