摘要：
Mapping palaeoenvironmental data and manmade landscape developments are some of the best ways to estimate, measure and illustrate human ecological niche building. Describing and quantifying the case study of a cisterns system in Southern Syria during Roman times, we show how the development of a simple technique in the Leja arid area changes the living conditions and probably the pastoralist’s mobility for nearly a millennium and a half.
