3 - Geoarcheological Study of the Kota Cina Site (North Sumatra, Indonesia)
The geoarchaeological study of Kota Cina is a pioneering work in Sumatra. It questions the environmental changes involving the position of the site in relation to the current coastline and the variables underlying these transformations. A geomorphological approach is used to define the chronostratig...
