Hiatus (archeology)
Hiatus , also Hiat , is in prehistory or early history a "period without finds" that refers to the interruption
- the settlement of a certain area,
- the use of a living space ,
- a settlement
- of a burial ground
- or a specific site
is traced back, on which there are both older and more recent finds that can be dated. Hiate (plur.) Are particularly clear in early settlements; so lies z. For example, between the Middle and Early Bronze Age of Crete, a layer of destruction followed by an almost no-found hiatus. In Thebai on the Mykale, near Miletus , a 700-year-old hiatus was found on the basis of the ceramic. The once postulated hiates "of a certain (large-scale) area" have turned out to be misinterpretations in Europe (especially in the south and in the middle) if they were Neolithic or younger.
