Abstract
Attempts to correlate the earliest Neolithic sites in lowland Poland with various soil types and Topographic features have been generally unsuccessful, due primarily to the quite diverse character of the soil cover and subtle physiography in this area. In this paper, a model of "tactical" and "strategic" sites is developed, based on Clay's (1976) model to account for the diversity of Mississippian sites in the midcontinental United States. The argument is presented that this very diversity of site locations, coupled with a uniformity of site size, is an important aspect of the initial settlement of new territory.
