Hydrological analysis module supported by GIS extracts information about the hydrological characteristics of research area by using Digital Elevation Model. In this paper, Zhengzhou-Luoyang region is selected as the research area. And Peiligang cultural period, early Yangshao cultural period, later Yangshao cultural period and Longshan cultural period are selected as the time series. The paper uses hydrological analysis to get the information of drainage basins in Zhengluo region, which is proved to be viable and rarely used in previous researches about the relationship between prehistoric settlement sites and drainage basins. According to the information of drainage basins, this paper analyzes its relationship with the spatial distribution of settlement sites in Zhengluo region. Besides, the relationship between the area of the drainage basin and the growth rate of its settlement sites, and the relationship between the area of the drainage basin and the number of its settlement sites are studied in the paper. The above relationships are clearly displayed in a digital way using the correlation analysis. And the results suggest that there is a significant positive correlation between the area of drainage basins and the number of settlement sites. There is also a positive correlation between the area of drainage basins and the change trend of settlement sites. When studying the characteristics of spatial and temporal distribution of settlement sites in each drainage basin, it can be found that during Peiligang cultural period, the distribution density of settlement sites in the eastern region is greater than the western region. And among the other three cultural periods, the distribution density of settlement sites in the central and western region is greater than the eastern region. Due to the different modes of production, there is a great difference among the residential environment within which the settlement sites are located. As time goes on, people′s dependence on drainage basins is gradually decreasing with the change of the modes of production. Therefore, the research on the relationship between prehistoric settlement sites and drainage basins extracted using the hydrological analysis is highly significant.
