In geography, statistics and archaeology, asettlement, locality or populated place is acommunity in which people live. A settlement can range in size from a small number of dwellings grouped together to the largest of cities with surrounding urbanized areas. Settlements may include hamlets, villages,towns and cities. A settlement may have known historical properties such as the date or era in which it was first settled, or first settled by a particular people.
In the field of geospatial predictive modeling, settlements are "a city, town, village ghost or other agglomeration of buildings where people live and work."[1]
A settlement conventionally includes its constructed facilities such as roads,enclosures, field systems, boundary banks and ditches, ponds, parks and woods, windand water mills, manor houses, moats andchurches.[2]
The oldest remains that have been found of constructed dwellings are remains of huts that were made of mud and branches around 17,000 BC at the Ohalo site (now underwater) near the edge of the Sea of Galilee. TheNatufians built houses, also in the Levant, around 10,000 BC. Remains of settlements such as villages become much more common after the invention of agriculture.
