The site was&amp;nbsp;inhabited from the Middle Neolithic to the Chalcolithic, with some surface evidence of Bronze&amp;nbsp;Age occupation. Microfacies analysis of the sediments, supported by a suite of environmental&amp;nbsp;indices, has provided detailed paleoenvironmental data and elucidated the main processes&amp;nbsp;involved in the formation of the site and its history of occupation. The settlement was established&amp;nbsp;on the lakeshore, on a shallow sand ridge and a shore marsh. Initially, houses were built&amp;nbsp;on raised platforms above the water. After a major conflagration, a range of depositional&amp;nbsp;microenvironments were established that caused local changes in the sedimentation rate.&amp;nbsp;Therefore, some areas quickly emerged and became dry land, while some others continued to&amp;nbsp;be flooded as part of the transitional supra-littoral environment. On the dry land, houses were&amp;nbsp;built directly on the ground, whereas in the transitional areas houses continued to be built on&amp;nbsp;raised platforms. Thus, gradually, a mound was formed and further shaped by subsequent&amp;nbsp;lake-level fluctuations. One of the lake-level rises is tentatively related to the abandonment of&amp;nbsp;the mound in the Chalcolithic and the development of a hardpan on its surface. There is also&amp;nbsp;evidence of later occupation during the Bronze Age in the form of a few, mostly surface, archaeological&amp;nbsp;remains.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cited By (since 1996):6Export Date: 22 October 2014</style></notes></record></records></xml>
