The paradigms of Mobility and Connectivity have strongly influenced the humanities and social sciences of the beginning of the third millennium, since the geographical interconnection and exchange of goods and people guarantee socio-economic and cultural development, and they ensure innovation. Archaeology has kept pace with these developments, and many archaeologists have undertaken what in geography has been termed the "mobility turn", adopting research perspectives which consider mobility and communication networks as the key concepts triggering historical and cultural dynamics. Since a long time, digital technologies are profitably employed to spatially analyse communication systems, and they have provided innovative tools for modelling. However, recently these models have been questioned on the basis of new trends inspired by phenomenological approaches, the latter focussing mainly on perception of landscapes rather than on their mathematical and spatial analysis. In this context, it might be useful to open an interdisciplinary debate among specialists, as theoretical frameworks and methodological issues need to be discussed in the light of the models which have been elaborated so far and on the basis of a large number of case-studies, covering a variety of geographical and chronological contexts. The final goal is to create the ground for an international debate that will reinforce interdisciplinary interaction and will hopefully give rise to a new, more global and innovative approach to the study of historic and prehistoric Landscapes of Movement.
