This paper investigates the dolmen landscapes of Neolithic communities found within Costa da Morte (Coast of Death), Galicia. Its goal is to uncover whether or not the megalithic monuments of a particular and coherent area of the south-eastern side of the Atlantic Façade are situated in relation to complex locational variables. In particular, in this paper, we explore the entirety of their surrounding topography. For the very first time, we were able to demonstrate that very specific natural landscapes surrounding the dolmens of this region in Iberia were likely selectively drawn upon, expanding our understanding of the Neolithic of this area and the people's relationship with their natural world.

ABSTRACTExcavations in Insulae II, III and XIII in the southern half of Verulamium demonstrated the absence of occupation prior to the late first century and the relatively late development of the street grid in this area. This forced a re-evaluation of the date of the 1955 ditch, suggesting it was not dug until the Flavian period. The excavations also demonstrated that Watling Street had never bisected Insula XIII on the south-eastern side of the Forum-Basilica, thus negating a major argument for the presence of a Claudian fort under the centre of the later town. A restricted excavation in the northern corner of Insula XIII revealed evidence for the location of the town’s baths, while excavation in Insula XIII revealed a long sequence of industrial and domestic occupation stretching from the late first to early fifth centuries. Evidence for continued occupation into the fifth century or beyond was recovered from Insula II, and to a lesser extent, in Insula XIII.

The south-eastern part of the Bükk Mountains and the eastern side of its foothill, the Bükkalja are among the less explored regions of Hungary. Based on our examinations on the field, we found that the asymmetrical valley sections, the tipped escarpments and the formation of the Kisgyőr Basin cannot be explained by the differences in the rock quality. The asymmetrical shape of these landforms and the stream captures identified in the research area indicate significant structural geological changes. In our work, we proved the asymmetry in the topography by performing swath profile analysis, and we also examined the elevation data of the areas covered by the welded ignimbrites of the Tar Dacite Tuff Formation. The results confirmed our field observations. We found that, contrary to the results of previous research, the geological structural processes played a fundamental role in the formation of the Kisgyőr Basin and its surroundings.
