Landscape Assessment Chronology

To comprehend the role as Agents of the Local Territorial Systems acting on the SE Anatolian diachronic palimpsest, it has seemed necessary to prepare a specific chronology of the landscape assessment regarding particularly:

1. regional history;
2. interregional history;
3. dynamics involved in the landscape dynamic assessment;
4. major, Intermediate, Middle-Low, Low territorial systems.

Respectively these four points cover all the aspects of the landscape history, outlining the inner and outer political situations to understand the whole picture, sampling the basic landscape dynamics and drawing, as results, the assessment of the different networks’ units.

The research has interested a wide literature of primary and secondary sources analyzed in order to describe those points. For a list of this sources I redirect to the thematic bibliography I have to publish in this blog in one month, in the following post, in which the LAC will be progressively outlined I will refer to some of the most important mile stones of the caucasian researches.

The historical research scheme is the following:

1. identification of major aspects of the landscape
   1. dynamics of the landscape assessment
   2. coexistence of different ethos and rise of the Vannic Koine
   3. feudalism and church, a backward inquiry of the settlement organization
2. writing history of the region
3. LTS as basic units of the landscape
