Abstract
In this is survey of central highland Iron Age settlements the evidence shows a relatively rapid increase in population early in the period, resulting deforestation and the use of terracing. Shortages of charcoal favored the smelting of iron over copper, and land reclamation gave impetus to lineage development as the best means to mobilize labor. The author describes in detail the architecture of houses, stables, and temples.
