Settlement Strategies of Palaeolithic and Mesolithic Societies in north Moravia and Czech Silesia (Czech Republic)

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The study of settlement strategies enables us to uncover the dynamic aspects of the behaviour of the Palaeolithic and Mesolithic populations. Geographic information systems facilitate the identification of relationships between landscape geomorphology and the preferences of humans during various phases of the Pleistocene and the beginning of the Holocene. In instances of larger geographic units, it is necessary to define smaller regions, apply objective criteria to describe their variability and uncover the potential humans could have used. It is important to elucidate the criteria that had a bearing on settlement strategies. An important region relevant for Palaeolithic Europe is the Moravian Gate that connected the Danube area with the regions of the North European Plain. There are several settlement units in north Moravia and Czech Silesia that can be identified on the basis of the site network. Despite the greatly heterogeneous character of archaeological data, it is possible to describe different settlement strategies that reflect both the changes in the ecosystem and the cultural traditions. Our knowledge of the Lower Palaeolithic and the early phase of the Middle Palaeolithic is rather fragmentary, and we are unable to define any settlement strategies. The situation at the Middle/Upper Palaeolithic transition is also complicated, since the sites do not form any distinctive cluster, and the prevalence of surface sites makes a clear cultural classification of the sites comprising mixed attributes impossible. In contrast, for the Gravettian, the Epigravettian, and the late phase of the Upper Palaeolithic and the Mesolithic, clear preferences in the use of landscape can be observed.
