Abstract
After a research campaign in 2019 on crómlech in the Chistau valley (Huesca), the possibility of finding more megalithic structures in the same region arose. This study focuses on evaluating the effectiveness of the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) as support in the archaeological prospecting phase in the high mountains. The main objective is to identify areas with a high probability of hosting megalithic structures in the valley through Multi-Criteria Analysis (MCA), based on the location of the crómlech using a sample of 30 stone circles. The criteria were weighted using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method. The resulting cartography was validated with field work in which 5 crómlech were recorded, 29 structures with a high probability of being crómlech, and the existence of 6 structures with the potential of hosting megalithic remains.
