Re “ it makes a differences whether the structure results in a self-imposed isolation or isolation created by an adversary party.”
How can a non-archeologist determine the initial purpose of an archeological site? For example, Machu Picchu is a very famous site in Peru which has been extensively studied. It is fortified in a sense, being built on t he end of a ridge, with narrow bridges that could be removed to repel attack probably. Initial explorers thought it was a capital city, moser scholarship suggests it was a royal retreat from the city for recreation or a site of royal religious religious devotion. This proposed tag would be used for much less well known sites. How should ordinary mappers determine if a ruin is an old fort or a fortified settlement or a an ancient prison? -Joseph Eisenberg On Tue, Sep 20, 2022 at 5:05 AM martianfreeloader < martianfreeloa...@posteo.net> wrote: > Hi Anne, > > Thanks for the proposal.
