It was not until the period of Julius Caesar and Caesar Augustus, however, that full-scale Roman-style foundations (coloniae) were established for the benefit of Roman legionary veterans, some on already-existing native towns (as at Tarraco) and some on sites where there was relatively small-scale habitation previously, as at Emerita Augusta.
Constructed from offcuts of clear plastic, roughly folded aluminium sheet, odd bits of card, small mirrors and all manner of little bricollaged detritus, and set in little beach landscapes of twigs and shells, they are small habitations that recall both their real equivalents and havens of erotic desire.
The study area has steep elevations, which is predominated by subtropical vegetation, interspersed with small human habitations, traditional farming areas, and towns like Rangpo, Singtam, and Ranipool.
"We recognise you're trying to fit out a room too small for human habitation, for human habitation," the building industry says, "and we support that".
This implied that the Spratlys a collection of reefs, rocks and tiny islands were all too small to support human habitation and hence have their own exclusive economic zones (EEZs) under UNCLOS.
Its harsh landscape of barren plains, freezing winters and scorching summers has kept human habitation to small number of nomadic camel breeders eking out a solitary existence.
Among pastoral communities in this region, livestock are frequently maintained in enclosures close to human habitation, and small ruminants sometimes sleep inside houses overnight for security reasons.
Why then would bile, an environmental cue signaling habitation in the small intestine, increase c-di-GMP?
Increased isolation and proliferation of edges are some features which subject the remnant natural habitats lying inter-digitated within urban landscapes (Kupfer et al. 2006) to invasibility, and the theory of island biogeography predicts fewer plant species habitation on these relatively small and isolated habitat patches (Bastin and Thomas 1999; Guirado et al. 2006).
The reason for this can be found in traditions brought forward from the Germanic tribes, but equally in the fact that habitation was confined to small areas, a factor that enforced restrictions on population growth.
