POIPLIE V MLADŠEJ DOBE KAMENNEJ

The main aim of this work was to collect available information from the period of Neolithic and Early Eneolithic from the Slovak part of the river Ipeľ and to determine the relationship between the settlement and the environment (altitude, local elevation above the surrounding terrain, slope, aspect, and relation to soil and distance from the closest water source). The first step was the creation of the database of archaeological sites and subsequent analysis in geographical informational system and synthesis of acquired results, which were compared with the situation in Czech Republic, Slovakia and Poland. Mutual similarities and differences were pointed out. Reciprocal interaction between settlement and environment was discovered (climate and rainfall) to which the settlement reacted immediately.
