Abstract:A preliminary account, drafted in 1964. For the most part the Iron-Age peoples of the area lived in small village communities, except where there were strong economic and social incentives for a greater concentration of population. During the later Iron Age, the region was settled by peoples with complex social organizations and strongly centralized chieftainships. The immigrants introduced more sophisticated agriculture and advanced metallurgical technology, both of which led to increases in population, greater pressure on agricultural land, and to many changes in the sparse settlement pattern. Bibliogr., (including literature up to 1969), maps, photos.
