"The widely percieved opposition between a 'site scale' and 'regional scale' in GIS analysis is not an optimal classification in archaeological practice. Stressing the importance of the conceptual separation of terms describing the dead and the living cultures I will suggest that projects should be approached in accordance to their theoretical background rather then to geographical extent. Since archaeological data are usually severely biased in diverse aspects, new analytical 'scales' will be introduced into the debate, which allow to touch questions inaccesible in GIS before. This approach is based on descriptive databases viewed as multi-dimensional spaces, regardless the presence or absence of geographic coordinates. The paper concludes that useful GIS outputs need not look exclusively as fancy maps of physical landscape or distribution maps of finds, but they can also present formalized abstract models built in the framework of a newly-coined term 'fact space"@en . .
