This paper presents the first results of the spatial analysis concerning the dynamics and interaction betweensettlement patterns from the Neolithic to Chalcolithic times (6000-3500 BC) and a particular mineral re-source exploited since the Early Neolithic, the salt springs in the Oriental Carpathian Mountains. Using kernel densities and viewsheds, we propose some natural and anthropological factors which structure this regionalterritory
