Period | Settlement name | Exposed area (excavated or exposed by geophysics). Sq. m. | Exposed area converted to a circle (sq. m.) | Additional buffer (in m) that is added to the radius of the circle | Projected area of a sherd scatter surrounding the site (sq. m.) | Projected area of a sherd scatter surrounding the site (ha) | Number of houses | Total people - low estimate | Total people - high estimate | People per ha low estimate | People per ha high estimate |

This table represents a step in converting the a-d indexes into absolute population estimates. It contains the areas of sherd scatters and population density estimates (in persons/ha) for previously excavated (or examined by geophysics) Bronze Age sites. See chapter 2 of the dissertation for details. | |||||||||||
