Abstract

The article discusses the settlement structure of the Lbishche-type archaeological sites, dating from the 3rd to 4th centuries AD, located in the Samara Luka region. A GIS analysis was conducted both within the settlement structure of these sites and at the microregion level. To achieve this, all archival planigraphic data from previous research was compiled. Was created GIS database “Lbishche-type Sites”, which allowed the systematization of information from previous excavations. Analysis of artefact and object density demonstrated possible estate-type layout and trace the probable location of streets within the Lbishche site. Similar features of the Lbishche-type settlement layout were highlighted.

During the analysis of the settlement structure within the microregion, modeling of potential resource zones of sites was carried out, conclusions were drawn about the regularity of the placement of sites relative to water sources, visual communication, as well as the slope of the resource zones. The work was carried out on the basis of archival materials (archive of IA RAS) using the Esri ArcGIS software package (ArcMap).
