Areas Suitable for Cultural Camps
This model is adapted from the habitation model included
in the MoF Archaeological Overview Assessment. While
full-time habitation in the study area might not be
likely, this model was included as it shows locations
were structures such as cultural camps and longhouses
can be constructed.
Characteristics which were deemed favorable for habitation
sites included a relatively level slope, close proximity
to a water source and low elevation. These characteristics
were taken almost directly from the AOA. As has been
noted above however, the AOA ruled out habitation in
low elevation flood plains as archaeological evidence
is often washed away in these locations. These low elevation
flood plains are however deemed to be suitable in our
model as we are concerned with present and future rather
than past use. Download
