| Summary: | The article discusses the use of geographic information system (GIS) for examining the area of the Celtic oppidum Hunnenring in the northern Saarland in Germany. Various archaeological prospection methods and approaches of applied geoinformatics and surveying technology are used to obtain high-resolution digital terrain models (DTMs) with the use of airborne laser scanning (ALS) data and terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) data. As a result, landscape archaeology information is obtained, which reconstructs the pre- and protohistoric habitat. The results show multiplicity of anthropogenic changes which lead to the hypothesis of an ancient pathway connecting the Hunnenring to an ancient Roman settlement.
