4 – Kota Cina: Spatial Evolution of Ancient Occupation
This study of the spatial evolution of the ancient occupation rests on the premiss that a division into nine land strips from north to south, each being some 100 metres wide, may be especially relevant for the purpose of the interpretation.

| Итог: | This study of the spatial evolution of the ancient occupation rests on the premiss that a division into nine land strips from north to south, each being some 100 metres wide, may be especially relevant for the purpose of the interpretation. The statistical approach is based on 45 trenches for which precise dating brackets (max. of two centuries) of the stoneware and porcelain shards are available. They have yielded 32,226 shards, representing more than 60 percent of the stoneware and porcelain material collected during the 2011–2016 excavations. These 32,226 shards include 13,374 shards belonging to the ancient occupation period of the site (late 11th/early 12th c.–early 14th c.) with a dating bracket not exceeding two centuries. The general evolution is followed thanks to a table of densities by sectors and datings brackets on the one hand, and the successive chronological maps on the other hand. This study revealed the existence, throughout the siteʼs ancient history, of two significant occupation areas (north and south) separated by an almost empty space of variable size. The northern occupation area, which seems to be the major occupation area of the site, varied in size and sometimes featured more than one centre. Sector H is the centre of the southern occupation area |
