Summary
Regional-scale archaeological surveys can reveal long-tem patterns in human settlement in the landscape. However, many survey projects focus solely on defining the extent and age of settlements. A combined use of various methods is required to develop more nuanced understanding of changes in settlement patterns over time.
This paper presents the results of a multidisciplinary research project on the settlement history of the Szeghalom microregion in the Körös Region of SE Hungary. During our long-term investigations in the region, the Körös Regional Archaeological Project conducted high-resolution systematic field collection, paleoenvironmental studies, geophysical prospection, targeted excavations, and analysis of historic sources to model changes in settlement patterns and land use from the Neolithic to recent times.
