摘要: Abstract A central aim of Neolithic studies in Europe is to understand settlement or domestic activity the first agriculturalists. In Scotland, continued absence unambiguous occupation activities on mainland remains an unresolved issue. It proposed that areas attractive for and may be identified by constructing GIS-based models sites believed related activities, including chambered cairns, timber halls, containing pit-digging episodes. Statistical analyses undertaken this process suggest new insights into locations pits. Finalised are constructed desktop assessments conducted examine model performance. Research priorities improving significant environmental variables driving current identified.
