Toward an understanding of site abandonment behavior: Evidence from historic mining camps in the southwest Yukon

Dwellings of Some of the First British Colonists to the Swan River Colony, and What They Indicate About Preparing for Settlement, the Use of Local Materials, and Settlement Permanency

“…Some of the archaeological evidence associated with structures at Peel town—building pads (Sites 3 and 16), the erection of expensive to purchase timber portable cottage type structures and their maintenance over time (Sites 1 and 16), and additions to structures including the laying of stone floors and limestone for the foundation of an incomplete structure (Sites 16 and 2), required much energy expenditure and supports observations seen in previous research (McGuire and Schiffer 1983; Stevenson 1982; Cameron 1991; Schiffer and McGuire 1992; Kent 1996) that in the settlement's early stages those at Peel town considered the settlement permanent. However, reality is that with the lifting of restrictions on movement in October 1830 (Gill 1963, 164) the settlement dissolved quickly, suggesting that most at the settlement had no intension of developing the area.…”

The Spatial Analysis of Non-Ceramic Refuse from the Neolithic Site at Bylany, Czech Republic

“…Consequently, if a settlement stage with a high number of houses was preceded by one with few houses, pits of the earlier stage will contain on average more refuse, actually produced in the more recent settlement stage. Such an assertion is of course not the only possible explanation of the discard trend, although the described method of refuse management would match some ethno-archaeological observations (Deal 1985;Stevenson 1982). formula exists.…”
