As a prelude to future archaeological research, this paper presents a detailed synthesis of early ethnohistorical and ethnographic information on settlement patterns, secular and ceremonial site types, and social interactions of the Kulkalgal people who continue to inhabit the small, drought-prone reef islands of central Torres Strait, northeast Australia.
Information on settlement characteristics (population density, percentage of urban settlements) and number of radiographers employed in the counties were obtained from Statistics Norway [ 12], while number of working radiologist in each county was obtained from The Norwegian Medical Association (on personal request).
The data (both published and unpublished) are compiled with information available on settlement development and dynamics, in the study area.
The LSIA was commissioned in the early 1990s to fulfil the need to have better information on the settlement of new migrants than those available through censuses.
The researchers also compared their results to population density data gathered through remote sensing technologies, a widely used method that relies on satellite imaging to gather detailed information on population settlement patterns and estimate population counts.
Investigation into male demography in East Asia using Y chromosome haplogroups in a simulation analysis provided information on the settlement times of Northern and Southern populations [9].
It has yielded important information on Chalcolithic (Bronze Age) settlement in the Helmand River valley during the 3rd millennium bc.
