Summary Excavations at Howe revealed a complex series of settlements which spanned the whole of the Iron Age period and were preceded by two phases of Neolithic activity. A probable stalled cairn was succeeded by a Maes Howe type chambered tomb which was later followed by enclosed settlements of which only scant remains survived. These settlements were replaced by a roundhouse with earth-house, built into the ruins of the chambered tomb. The roundhouse was surrounded by a contemporary defended settlement. Rebuilding led to the development of a broch structure and village. Partial collapse of tower brought about changes in the settlement, andalthougk some houses were maintained as domestic structures, others were rebuilt as iron-working sheds. The construction of smaller buildings and a later Iron Age or Pictish extended farmstead into rubble collapse accompanied a decline in the size of the settlement. The abandonment of the farmstead marked the end of Howe as a settlement site.

Settlement Site

Summary The excavations revealed a stone house and showed that it was oval, 13 m × 10 m, with an interior about 7 m in diameter. In the first occupation phase the entrance was on the SE side. During the second phase this entrance was replaced with one to the NE and the interior was partitioned. The roof was supported on wooden posts. After the building was abandoned it was covered with peat-ash which was subsequently ploughed. There were numerous finds of steatite-tempered pottery and stone implements, which dated the site to late Bronze/early Iron Age. The second settlement, Site B, lay by the shore of the voe and consisted of two possible stone-built houses and a field system. Two trenches were dug across the structures and the results are reported in Appendix I. Although damaged in recent years it was in no further danger.

Suitable route determination for linear engineering structures is a fundamental problem in engineering geology. Rapid evaluation of alternative routes is essential, and novel approaches are indispensable. This study aims to integrate various InSAR (Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar) techniques for sinkhole susceptibility mapping in the Kirikkale-Delice Region of Turkey, in which sinkhole formations have been observed in evaporitic units and a high-speed train railway route has been planned. Nine months (2019–2020) of ground deformations were determined using data from the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Sentinel-1A/1B satellites. A sinkhole inventory was prepared manually using satellite optical imagery and employed in an ANN (Artificial Neural Network) model with topographic conditioning factors derived from InSAR digital elevation models (DEMs) and morphological lineaments. The results indicate that high deformation areas on the vertical displacement map and sinkhole-prone areas on the sinkhole susceptibility map (SSM) almost coincide. InSAR techniques are useful for long-term deformation monitoring and can be successfully associated in sinkhole susceptibility mapping using an ANN. Continuous monitoring is recommended for existing sinkholes and highly susceptible areas, and SSMs should be updated with new results. Up-to-date SSMs are crucial for the route selection, planning, and construction of important transportation elements, as well as settlement site selection, in such regions.

Comprehensive Studies

ABSTRACTThe study the diet of Eneolithic populations is of great interest to archaeologists. However, the studies undertaken in the steppe and forest-steppe zones of Volga region in Russia have left many issues unsolved. Data collected recently through the comprehensive studies of Lebyazhinka VI settlement enable us to change this situation. Of particular importance at this settlement site is good preservation of animal bones, bone fishing tools, and ceramics of the same type with food crusts and connected to a large house pit. For the first time in this geographical area, bones of domestic animals were found in the fill of a dwelling. The aim of this paper is to present the results obtained through comprehensive studies of diet and economy in the Eneolithic based on the materials from Lebyazhinka III and Lebyazhinka VI settlement sites. The main results of the archaeozoological analysis— determinations of species, age and size of the animals—provide the necessary data for studying the diet. We conclude that there are differences between Lebyazhinka III and Lebyazhinka VI settlements. Lebyazhinka III settlement included bones of only wild species, however, Lebyazhinka VI settlement consists of wild and domestic species.

General Conditions

The study of large settlement sites with graves from the Late Mesolithic has changed our conception of this period. In western Europe this kind of antiquity has long been known, and it is well represented in the coastal area of western Iberia. One settlement site —Popas de Sao Bento, near the River Sado in southern Portugal — has recently been excavated as part of a joint Swedish-Portuguese project. The results of the excavation give interesting perspectives on specific and general conditions in a broader geographical, chronological, and social context.

The Doro Manto site located in Hu’u District, Dompu Regency, West Nusa Tenggara. It has a perfected settlement culture that needs to be revealed. This study aims to find out the ancient settlements at Doro Manto Site through traces that are still found today. This research is qualitative research with an ecological approach. The data of this study were collected through literature studies and direct observation at Doro Manto Site. After the data is collected, it is analyzed and concluded. The results of this study are in the form of the spread of pottery sherds and stone holes located at the top of Doro Manto; throne of ncuhi on the slope; stone shower, stone stairs, hollow stones with a platform above it, grave with a cover in the form of a large stone and ‘batu gong’ as grave goods. There are also findings of ceramics and Chinese coin at the base of Doro Manto; rice fields and rivers downstream. Based on the results of these studies it can be seen that the Doro Manto Site is an ancient settlement site that utilizes high hills, with the application of local genius leka dana. Situs Doro Manto terletak di Kecamatan Hu,u, Kabupaten Dompu, Nusa Tengara Barat, memiliki budaya permukiman yang adiluhung yang perlu diungkap. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui permukiman kuno yang ada di Situs Doro Manto melalui jejak-jejak yang masih ditemukan saat ini. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian kualitatif, dengan pendekatan ekologi. Data penelitian ini dikumpulkan melalui studi pustaka dan observasi langsung di Situs Doro Manto. Setelah data terkumpul, kemudian dianalisis dan disimpulkan. Hasil penelitian ini berupa sebaran kereweng dan lubang-lubang batu yang terletak di puncak Doro Manto; tahta ncuhi di lereng; pancuran batu, batu tangga, batu berlubang dengan tonjolan di atasnya, kubur dengan penutup berupa batu besar dan batu gong dengan bekal kubur, terdapat pula temuan keramik dan uang kepeng di pangkal Doro Manto; areal persawahan dan sungai pada bagian hilir. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian tersebut dapat diketahui bahwa Situs Doro Manto merupakan situs permukiman kuno masa ncuhi yang memanfaatkan bukit tinggi, dengan penerapan lokal genius leka dana.
