Geomorphologic conditions of settlement location: case study in the Rawka River Valley in Rawa Mazowiecka

Summary/Abstract: Paper presents results of research on morphologic conditions of location of two archaeological sites in Rawa Mazowiecka in the Rawka River valley. Settlement uncovered at sites is dated to the Prehistory and to the Historic Times with main chronologic phase dated to the Late Pre-Roman Period and the Early Roman Period. Sites were located on the sandy and sandy-silty areas of the Plenivistulian terrace in a very close vicinity of flood plain. Surface occupied by settle-ments were very slightly inclined – no more than 3 °, usually ca. 1 °. It is significant a location of settlements complex in the area offering a high geodiversity. The mine stages of evolution and development of the Rawka River valley in Rawa Ma-zowiecka are presented and also relation between settlements of recognised chronologic periods and morphologic elements of the valley. The estimation of size of the highest population, which could produce sufficient quantity of plant food in the pre-historic economy condition was undertaken.
