Abstract
Regular patterns in the exploitation of lowland resources can be perceived in the prehistoric and historic records. On the basis of these patterns the lowlands can be divided into two economic zones. The zone of high arable potential is characterised by cereal-based economies and high population levels. The zone of low arable potential supports animal-based economies and low population levels. Economic development has increased the productivity of each of the zones, but the fundamental patterns of exploitation have remained unchanged.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
