Evolution of human settlements and natural risk factors. A case study of Chalcolithic archaeological sites in the Valea Oii watershed (Romania)

Gheorghe Romanescu, Nicu Cristi

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article

Abstract

Settlement takes into account the physical and geographical factors of a targeted area and dwellings are placed generally in the upper sectors of small watersheds. These represent the most uniform territorial entities from a geographic and strategic perspective. On a large scale, the situation is similar regarding the villages within large watersheds. The same principles have applied to settlement location throughout history.
