This paper shows the results from surveys conducted in the Alcoi valleys (Alacant, Spain) during the last three decades. It follows an approach to scattered collections where the concept or archaeological site is an open one, our intention is to approach the Social Geography of people living in prehistoric times at the valley. The whole project take advantage of the latest technological developments since the beginning, but in recent years Global Positioning Systems (GPS) coupled with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have improved enormously. At the same time open data policies carried out by Spanish Institutions sucha as de Spanish Cadastre, the CNIG(National Geographical Information Center) or, in our case, the Valentian Government has eased the avalaibility of geographical data.
GPS and GIS not only allow us to map new finding but also to revisit old data (documented data during surveys conducted during the 80’s and early 90’s) for updating. Last but not least, we briefly discusss on the possibility of whether considering some discrete artefact concentrations an archaeological site or not so.
