Resource use in favourable/disfavourable areas (B02)

• Subject Area: Prehistory and World Archaeology ; Physical Geography
• Term: since 2013
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 215859406

The project comparatively examines the development of resources in favourable/disfavourable areas from an archaeological and archaeopedological perspective. The research focuses on the question of settlement and land use dynamics and the associated potential movements of people, for example in the form of settlement relocation. The focus is on a transition period from favour to disfavour in one and the same area, in order to finally better understand the temporal dynamics of settlement and land use.
