Furthermore, using unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) surveys to identify archaeological sites with temporal resolution during the spring agro-technical works and automated mapping of the geomorphological features based on LiDAR-derived DEM can provide valuable information about the human\u2013landscape relationships and lead to accurate archaeological and cartographic products. In this study, we applied a GIS-based landform classification method to relief characterization of 362 Late Bronze Age (LBA) settlements belonging to Noua Culture (NC) (cal. 1500\/1450-1100 BCE) located in the Jijia catchment (NE Romania). For this purpose, we used an adapted version of Topographic Position Index (TPI) methodology, abbreviated DEV, which consists of: (1) application of standard deviation of TPI for the mean elevation (DEV) around each analyzed LBA site (1000 m buffer zone); (2) classification of the archaeological site\u2019s location using six slope position classes (first method), or ten morphological classes by combining the parameters from two small-DEV and large-DEV neighborhood sizes (second method). The results indicate that the populations belonging to Noua Culture preferred to place their settlements on hilltops but close to the steep slope and on the small hills\/local ridges in large valleys. From a geoarchaeological perspective, the outcomes indicate a close connection between occupied landform patterns and habitation practices during the Late Bronze Age and contribute to archaeological predictive modelling in the Jijia catchment (NE Romania).<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14102466","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,21]],"date-time":"2022-05-21T09:18:08Z","timestamp":1653124688000},"page":"2466","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Using UAV Survey, High-Density LiDAR Data and Automated Relief Analysis for Habitation Practices Characterization during the Late Bronze Age in NE Romania"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Alin","family":"Mihu-Pintilie","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Exact and Natural Sciences, Institute of Interdisciplinary Research, Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Ia\u015fi (UAIC), St. Lasc\u0103r Catargi 54, 700107 Ia\u015fi, Romania"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2212-5184","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Casandra","family":"Bra\u0219oveanu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Exact and Natural Sciences, Institute of Interdisciplinary Research, Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Ia\u015fi (UAIC), St. Lasc\u0103r Catargi 54, 700107 Ia\u015fi, Romania"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8852-2724","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cristian Constantin","family":"Stoleriu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geography, Faculty of Geography and Geology, Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Ia\u015fi (UAIC), Bd.
