Habitat and Stone Enclosure of Corsica
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of this study is to apprehend the function of the stone enclosures during the Neolithic and the Bronze Age. Some enclosures well positioned in the Corsican chronology have been chosen to show an evolution of their dimensions, of dry-stone techniques used and of the function of the structures excavated within enclosures. The results prove that during the Neolithic, the whole habitat is inside the enclosure, whereas the enclosure of the Bronze Age is the seat of the economic and/or political activity. Index Terms –Bronze Age, Dry Masonry, Final Neolithic, Habitat, Middle Neolithic, Stone Enclosure.

متن کاملStructural enrichment and enclosure use in an opportunistic carnivore: the red fox (Vulpes vulpes)
An increasing number of zoos keep their animals in natural-looking enclosures, but it is often unclear whether or not the species’ behavioural and ecological needs are being adequately met. For species that suffer predation in the wild, structural enrichment in captivity can play a crucial role in connection with enclosure use. Firstly, we examined the effectiveness of structural enrichment in ...
