This paper reports the results of magnetic surveys contextualized with the landscape via water drainage analysis, and summarizes the results of excavations at the Cucuteni-Tripolye settlement Kamenets-Podolskiy (Tatarysky), 3950–3900 BCE. Incorporation of topographic information and water drainage analysis to the studies of settlement structures revealed by magnetometry makes it possible to understand how such features function and, therefore, the intentionality behind the arrangement of houses and utility structures. The correlation between magnetic susceptibility and the mass of burnt daub coming from the individual dwelling reveals a possible weakness in interpretations, due to the influence of heat on magnetization.

Abstract

V članku predstavljamo rezultate geomagnetnih raziskav, ki smo jih v pokrajini kontekstualizirali s pomočjo analize odvodnjavanja ter povzemamo rezultate izkopavanj naselja Kamenets-Podolskiy (Tatarysky), 3950–3900 pr. n. št., ki pripada kulturi Cucuteni-Tripolye. Vključitev topografskih in formacij in analiz odtekanja vode v študije naselbinskih struktur, odkritih s pomočjo magnetometrije, je omogočila razumeti njihovo delovanje, načrtovaje in namembnost hiš ter gospodarskih poslopij. Korelacija med magnetno susceptibilnostjo in ožganim hišnim ometom opozarja na mogočo težavo pri interpretiranju zaradi vpliva gorenja na magnetizacijo.
