ABSTRACT Understanding the interaction of human communities and their ecosystem is one of the major goals of archaeological field studies. The climate, unique geographical location, and strategic position of Roshtkhar along the natural corridor between northeastern Iran and Central Asia have attracted the interest of people for some time. The geographical location of Roshtkhar clearly demonstrates the importance of this area, and the need for archaeological studies of north-eastern Iran. In particular, it justifies the importance of undertaking regional archeological research. In order to record the position and shape of topographic features in Roshtkhar, an archaeological field study was carried out, and random sampling of surface findings. In the archaeological exploration of this area, 16 sites belonging to the prehistoric period were identified. The oldest period of settlement dates back to the late Chalcolithic period, but these findings are not definitive, as natural factors such as erosion and sedimentation, along with human factors and potential damage may have affected this area. In this paper, the settlement pattern of Roshtkhar was analysed based upon archaeological studies, and dating of historical sites based upon surface data. Finally, the role of the ecosystem in the formation of Roshtkhar plains was assessed using ArcGIS software.

伊朗东北部 Roshtkhar 平原的聚落格局

摘要 了解人类社区及其生态系统的相互作用是考古实地研究的主要目标之一。一段时间以来，罗什特哈尔位于伊朗东北部和中亚之间自然走廊的气候、独特的地理位置和战略地位引起了人们的兴趣。Roshtkhar 的地理位置清楚地表明了该地区的重要性，以及对伊朗东北部进行考古研究的必要性。尤其是，它证明了进行区域考古研究的重要性。为了记录 Roshtkhar 地形特征的位置和形状，进行了考古实地研究，并对地表发现进行了随机抽样。在对该地区的考古探索中，确定了属于史前时期的 16 个遗址。最古老的定居时期可以追溯到铜石器时代晚期，但这些发现并不确定，因为侵蚀和沉积等自然因素以及人为因素和潜在破坏可能影响了该地区。在本文中，基于考古研究和基于地表数据的历史遗址测年分析了 Roshtkhar 的聚居模式。最后，使用 ArcGIS 软件评估了生态系统在 Roshtkhar 平原形成中的作用。Roshtkhar 的聚居模式是根据考古研究和基于地表数据的历史遗址测年分析的。最后，使用 ArcGIS 软件评估了生态系统在 Roshtkhar 平原形成中的作用。Roshtkhar 的聚居模式是根据考古研究和基于地表数据的历史遗址测年分析的。最后，使用 ArcGIS 软件评估了生态系统在 Roshtkhar 平原形成中的作用。
