Résumé

This paper presents the first results of the spatial analysis concerning the dynamics and interaction between settlement patterns from the Neolithic to Chalcolithic times (6000-3500 BC) and a particular mineral resource exploited since the Early Neolithic, the salt springs in the Oriental Carpathian Mountains. Using kernel densities and viewsheds, we propose some natural and anthropological factors which structure this regional territory.
