This article presents the results of the construction of an Archaeological Predictive Spatial Model based on the analysis of a set of variables. The main objective of this study is to identify areas of archaeological potential for archaeological exploration, for the Médio Tejo Region. This areas are more likely to occur in new sites, through the application of predictive spatial models, starting from a base of geographic data from archaeological sites compiled and updated in their various chronologies, and modeled through Geographic Information Systems, within the framework of the MTAS research project, supported by FCT. Thus, through an essentially statistical, descriptive and univariate methodology and using two methods - the method of binary addition and the method of weights - the areas with potential for prospecting new archaeological sites were obtained for the Médio Tejo Region.
