An archaeological predictive model for Late Chalcolithic and Early Bronze Age coastal settlements along the Southern Bulgarian Black Sea Coast was developed on a base of a terrestrial and bathymetric DTM produced with aerial bathymetric lidar scanning. The model indicates zones with higher probability for existence of submerged settlements. Another on land areas with higher archaeological potential are identified in the coastal zones.

This paper discusses a couple of basic methodological problems inherent in predictive modelling as used today in mapping the location of Stone Age settlements based solely on landscape topography/bathymetry. It argues that the modelling approach employed is based on elements adopted from a type of landscape ecology that was abandoned more than 20 years ago, because it was unable to produce reasonable results, and that it can be difficult to develop prediction methodology based on the present understanding of landscape ecology as being extremely complex and dynamic. Furthermore, it maintains that the modelling approach currently employed in Stone Age archaeology is based on assumptions about prehistoric resource-strategic behaviour that are simplistic and out of tune with what we now know. It therefore questions whether it is possible to develop a precise and efficient predictive procedure for modelling the locations of Stone Age sites.

The aim of this paper is to create and present a new archaeological predictive model via GIS, incorporating what archaeologists consider the most important criterion absent of similar past models, that of critical thinking. The new model suggested in this paper is named habitation Model Trend Calculation (MTC) and is not only integrates the archaeological questions with a critical view, but it can be easily adjusted, according to the conditions or the questions concerning the archaeological community. Furthermore, it uses new topogra-phical and geomorphological indexes such as Topographical Index (TPI), Hillslope and Landform Classification that give a new sense of the topographical and geomorphological characteristics of the examined area; therefore this model is a more powerful tool compared to older models that did not use new topographical and geomorphological indexes. The success of the created model is checked as a case study in the region of Messenia, Greece during the Mycenaean era. The region of Messenia is considered as one of the most important Mycenaean regions of Greece due to the great number and the importance of Mycenaean sites identified. For the present paper, 140 habitation sites were divided into four hierarchical categories (centers, large villages, villages, and farms) based on the extent and the plurality of the tholos tombs that exist in the broader region and according to the hierarchical categorization used by the archaeologists who have studied the area. The new predictive model presented in this work can assist in solving a series of criticisms that have been expressed in the previous studies regarding such models. Additionally, in the case of Mycenaean Messenia, the model shows excellent results in relation to the habitats of the time. ARTICLE HISTORY

For many decades the villa maritima of Vižula had been considered as one of the largest of its kind in Istria, Croatia. In order to prove this theory, large-scale archaeological prospection was applied in Vižula from 2014 onwards, including geophysics (Ground Penetrating Radar) and remote sensing (Airborne Laser Scanning/Airborne Laser Bathymetry). Integrating the results of these non-invasive techniques with terrestrial and underwater surveys and excavations provided an opportunity to evaluate this architecture from a different perspective. Our research indicates that instead of a single luxurious residence, several contemporary complexes existed on Vižula, namely two villae maritimae and two villae rusticae. Furthermore, the results show that the combined methodology is able to integrate detail and context into an interpretative coherent model of a landscape going far beyond the analytical capabilities of each individual method. Keywords Mediterranean, Roman villa maritima, archaeological prospection, ALS/ALB, GPR, underwater archaeology, integrated interpretation of prospection data. Zusammenfassung-Archäologische Prospektion von Siedlungen im Küstenbereich. Neubewertung der römischen Architektur von Vižula, Kroatien Viele Jahrzehnte lang galt die villa maritima von Vižula als eine der größten ihrer Art in Istrien, Kroatien. Um diese Theorie zu überprü-fen, wurde seit 2014 großflächige archäologische Prospektion in die Erforschung von Vižula einbezogen, und das Gebiet mittels Geo-physik (Bodenradar) und Fernerkundung (Luftbild, Airborne Laser Scanning / Airborne Laser Bathymetrie) untersucht. Die Integration der Ergebnisse dieser nicht-invasiven Techniken in die Resultate der terrestrischen und Unterwasserausgrabungen bot die Gelegenheit, diese Architektur aus einer neuen, gesamtheitlichen Perspektive zu bewerten. Unsere Forschungen deuten darauf hin, dass statt einer einzigen luxuriösen Residenz mehrere zeitgenössische Komplexe auf Vižula existierten, nämlich zwei villae maritimae und zwei villae rusticae. Darüber hinaus zeigen die Ergebnisse, dass eine kombinierte Interpretation von integrierter Prospektion und Ausgrabungen Re-sultate ermöglicht, die weit über die analytischen Möglichkeiten der einzelnen Methoden hinausgehen. Schlüsselbegriffe Mittelmeer, römische villa maritima, archäologische Prospektion, ALS/ALB, GPR, Unterwasserarchäologie, integrierte Interpretation von Prospektionsdaten.

En 1867 el gobierno de la provincia de Buenos Aires donó a la tribu de los caciques Francisco, Martín y Manuel Rondeau tres leguas de tierra en el partido de Veinticinco de Mayo, ubicado en la entonces frontera con los territorios indígenas de las llanuras pampeanas. El siguiente trabajo tiene el objetivo de avanzar en el conocimiento de los procesos, actores y factores que intervinieron en la fragmentación de las posesiones y la enajenación no-indígena de la tierra, que se observan en estos campos hacia mediados del siglo XX. Los resultados del análisis identifican tres tipos de relaciones que fueron clave: el arrendamiento de tierras, el crédito para la adquisición de bienes de uso y consumo, y la compra-venta de derechos de propiedad.
