China is a country with a brilliant civilization.Lots of historic sites and ancient settlements are all around.Archaeological scholars got outstanding achievements by hard working,especially science the twentieth century,a large number of important archeological discovers give us a clear understanding about the development of Chinese early culture.Remote sensing in archeology expanded the horizons we explore the world,and also provide more technical support for studying the Chinese civilization.This paper combine the remote sensing and GIS technology to study the distribution regularity of ancient sites in Linfen basin in south of Shanxi.Take 59 sites in four periods which respectively in Yangshao,Longshan,Miaodigou and Zhou period as the study points,analysis the suitable distribution area.Using multi-factor analysis theory (AHP),take slope,aspect,DEM and the distance to river as the factor to establish the importance (resistance) model.Then we will know where is more suitable for living.By loading the existing sites,found that more than 95% of the site points are in the suitable area.
