amleted settlement

1 These settlements are fragmented into several units separated from each other. Thus, one site is easily recognisable and other houses are physically separated. They have local

names such as para, panna, pali etc. There is complete diffusion and isolation of huts in the entire area.

2 Because of increasing pressure of a population on the existing site, people seek a place outside the village. This has given rise to hamleted settlements. They are formed because of the scarcity of arable land and water, and they have less fertile soil.

3 They are found in the middle Ganges plain, Chhattisgarh and Tarai region.
