Abstract A systematic archaeological survey in the Southeast provinces of Konya has started to reveal the settlement pattern of the Bronze and Iron Ages in this region, which sheds light on the geo-environment, economy, road networks, interactions and cultures. This paper will specifically deal with the region of and around Meke Gölü and Karacadağ, located in Karapınar – Konya, and discuss the surveyed settlements and possible implications of the economy with salt trade as one of the main trade commodities. In this context the salt source of the saline lake Meke Gölü (Lake Meke), which is located south of Karacadağ, its significance and usage of salt will be explored. Finally, the equation of Meke Gölü with the liki (salt-lick) mentioned in the frontier description in the treaty between the Great Kings Kuruntija and Tutḫalija IV on the well-known Bronze Tablet discovered in Boğazköy – Ḫattuša, the capital of the Hittite Empire, will be suggested and debated.

Desde el año 2008 arqueólogos de la Universidad Veracruzana han realizado el estudio sistemático de la costa oriental de Los Tuxtlas, en el sur de Veracruz. Trabajos basados en un recorrido intensivo de superficie han cubierto un área de 250 km2. Gracias a estos estudios, se ha identificado evidencias de ocupación prehispánica, pautas de multiculturalidad y patrones de asentamiento distintivos en la región que se relacionan al desarrollo de un sistema portuario marítimo durante el periodo Clásico (300-1000 dC). Se hace un recuento de los métodos y técnicas utilizadas, así como de los resultados que se tienen hasta el momento. ARCHEOLOGY OF WATER AND MOUNTAINS:LANDSCAPE AND SETTLEMENT PATTERN ON THE EAST COAST OF THE TUXTLAS ABSTRACTSince 2008, archaeologists from the Universidad Veracruzana have carried out a systematic study of the eastern coast of Los Tuxtlas, in southern Veracruz. Investigations based on an archaeological survey have covered an area of 250 sq km. Thanks to these studies, evidence of prehispanic occupation, patterns of multiculturalism, and distinctive settlement patterns has been identified in the region that is related to the development of a maritime port system during the Classic period (300-1000 AD). This paper provides a description of the methods and techniques used in these investigations as well as the results that are available up to the present.Keywords: Los Tuxtlas; Prehispanic Ports; Settlement Pattern.

Fabric Analysis

The Agiasmati cave in SW Crete, investigated as part of the Sphakia Survey, served as a sanctuary in the Hellenistic-Early Roman period. It has four points of interest, (1) Two of its principal types of artefacts, ladles and multiple-nozzle lamps are rare or even unique to this site. (2) Fabric analysis has enabled significant progress to be made with the interpretation of the pottery. (3) Cave worship in this period is not well known on Crete. (4) Intensive exploration by the Sphakia Survey of the region in which the cave lies enables us to place the cave in the context of the contemporary settlement pattern and to reconfirm the value of archaeological survey.

Over Time

A recent systematic archaeological survey in the Ejutla Valley, Oaxaca, Mexico, enables us to examine long-term settlement-pattern changes in this small region and its shifting Prehispanic relation with the larger, adjacent Valley of Oaxaca. Throughout the sequence, Ejutla was settled less densely than Oaxaca, though the degree of difference varied through time. Ejutla was not a simple microcosm of Oaxaca; rather the former region shifted from a sparsely inhabited frontier to a more-dependent periphery that maintained different degrees of autonomy over time. Through a multiscalar examination of this contiguous area larger than a single valley, new perspectives are gained concerning political and economic relations and processes at the macroregional scale for the southern highlands of ancient Mesoamerica.

This chapter investigates settlement pattern research in the territory of Larinum. After a brief discussion of the history of research, it summarizes the settlement pattern narrative of the Biferno Valley Survey and the importance of this narrative in the history of studies in this area. It also discusses the Forma Italiae survey conducted here. Next, it presents a new study of the territory surrounding Larinum that consists of a revisiting of the villa sites and a reclassification of the farmsteads. It discusses the methodology and definitions used, as well as the results and directions for future research. It also addresses evidence in the landscape for travel, trade and road networks, including some of the routes mentioned in the literary sources and the ancient itineraries. It presents a revised narrative of the settlement patterns for the territory of Larinum that stresses continuity in the landscape throughout the period of Roman conquest. It ends by bringing in a discussion of the results of other regional studies conducted in central and southern Italy that are relevant to the conclusions reached here.

Settlement pattern archaeology has had a major impact on archaeological research in Oceania. This article reviews the history of the settlement pattern approach in Polynesia and provides case studies from the archipelagos of Samoa and Hawai’i. The primary theoretical and methodological foundations and limitations of settlement pattern archaeology are discussed. Recent technological innovations in spatial analysis, including remote sensing, computer analysis, and geographical information systems, are presented. Finally, the chapter concludes with a brief discussion of current and future avenues of development for settlement pattern studies, including the use of remote sensing technology and non-site approaches to archaeological survey and recording.

Answering Questions

Public impression of the Holocaust is unquestionably centred on knowledge about, and the image of, Auschwitz-Birkenau – the gas chambers, the crematoria, the systematic and industrialized killing of victims. Conversely, knowledge of the former extermination camp at Treblinka, which stands in stark contrast in terms of the visible evidence that survives pertaining to it, is less embedded in general public consciousness. As this paper argues, the contrasting level of knowledge about Auschwitz- Birkenau and Treblinka is centred upon the belief that physical evidence of the camps only survives when it is visible and above-ground. The perception of Treblinka as having been “destroyed” by the Nazis, and the belief that the bodies of all of the victims were cremated without trace, has resulted in a lack of investigation aimed at answering questions about the extent and nature of the camp, and the locations of mass graves and cremation pits. This paper discusses the evidence that demonstrates that traces of the camp do survive. It outlines how archival research and non-invasive archaeological survey has been used to re-evaluate the physical evidence pertaining to Treblinka in a way that respects Jewish Halacha Law. As well as facilitating spatial and temporal analysis of the former extermination camp, this survey has also revealed information about the cultural memory.

A model for more accurately representing the distribution of population is currently under development using some of the functionality of the Arc/Info GIS software. Included are factors for settlement pattern, topography and the presence of water bodies. The model is tested on County Antrim in Northern Ireland and the value of traditional choropleth mapping assessed in comparison with the output from the model.

<p>An archaeological survey on Peel Island in Moreton Bay, southeast Queensland, was conducted to assist the conservation planning for the Peel Island Lazaret (PIL), one of a number of institutions housed on the island during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The survey revealed a patterning of artefacts across the island as well as landscape modification related to its Aboriginal and European institutional uses.</p>
