TL;DR: A theory of settlement scaling in archaeology is developed, deriving the relationship between population and settled area from a consideration of the interplay between social and infrastructural networks and showing that total settlement area increases with population size, on average.

TL;DR: Estimated scaling parameter values and residual statistics support the hypothesis that increasing returns to scale characterized various forms of socioeconomic production available in the archaeological record and are found to be consistent with key expectations from settlement scaling theory.

TL;DR: This research systematically investigated the horizontal and vertical accuracy of the AT generated orthophotos and DSMs, respectively, and showed great promise for AT processed hyper-spatial resolution airborne remote sensing data to play a significant role in transportation infrastructure monitoring.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used ground-penetrating radar and gradiometer survey to map buried architecture and investigate the political dimensions of the built environment at two Spanish colonial period archaeological sites in Peru's north coast region, Carrizales (C123) and Mocupe Viejo (74).

TL;DR: In this article, archaeological investigations at Pueblo Bonito in Chaco Canyon reveal that residents constructed a large diversion channel during the eleventh century A.D. as dramatic growth resulted in the expansion of the building onto the main valley floor.
