<title>Abstract</title> Settlements, as the core carriers of human activities, study their clustering patterns is crucial for uncovering ancient social organizational structures. This research establishes a systematic methodology delineating early settlement groups. Initially, nearest neighbor distance analysis was utilized to evaluate agglomeration, followed by kernel density quantify spatial characteristics. By incorporating natural barriers such terrain and water systems, cost between...
Abstract Scientific cognition and assessment of threats to cultural heritage surrounding landscapes are prerequisites for targeted management protection heritage. This study took 530 city sites in the Central Plains China as research object. Based on survey information third national China, a combination high resolution google images land use/land cover data products enables comprehensive evaluation landscape elements impacts sites. With spatial statistical method, we divided site types,...
Abstract The Central Plains has a long history, rich culture, unique geographical advantages, and profound cultural heritage. occurrence of ancient cities in the marks formation Chinese state-level societies. number, size, distribution have changed greatly from late Yangshao to Xia Shang Dynasties, which reflects evolution settlement social organization. In this study, Geographic Information System (GIS) spatial database technology was used establish spatiotemporal Yangshao, Longshan, as...
The unprecedented growth in population and swift industrial advancements exert considerable strains on the ecosystem, particularly within medium-sized large urban landscapes. critical investigation into intricate links between current prospective land utilization, as well ecosystem service value (ESV), holds empirical relevance for calibration of usage frameworks, thereby contributing to sustainable evolution extensive zones. Utilizing GlobeLand 30 data, present research probes pattern...
Buried underneath modern Zhengzhou city in Henan Province, China, lies the archeological remains of one ancient capital cities Shang dynasty (1766 – 1122 BCE). Although it is likely that people planned this according to demands surrounding environment, there no clear relationship between current such as hydrology and topography, city’s layout. To better understand planning principles used during nearby environment at Zhengzhou, we measured sampled stratigraphic exposures excavation locations...
The emergence of houses is a social revolution around the world. Over past several decades, Chinese archaeologists have excavated many Neolithic to Bronze Age houses, but there still great amount uncertainty about and environmental factors driving differences between these house structures in Yellow River Basin. In this paper, we summarize data from excavation reports on shape size Neolithic-Bronze upper, middle lower reaches River, respectively, identify some that may affected development...
Abstract Floods had a massive impact on the development of ancient cities around world and understanding this phenomenon constitutes an essential part history long‐term dynamic human–environment interactions. There remains, however, enormous challenge in identifying records floods urban environments due to various sedimentation postdepositional processes that often remove, erase, alter such environmental records. During archaeological excavations famous historic city Kaifeng, we identified...

Abstract The Central Plains region in China has been an important area for human settlement since ancient times. As the only continuous civilization over thousands of years world, Civilization is origin Chinese nation. number, size, and distribution cities have changed greatly from state period (i.e. Yangshao Longshan periods) to kingdom Xia Shang Dynasties), which reflects evolution social organization. In this study, GIS technology was used establish city spatial database periods that...
