Imagining Wallachia
This article proposes a detailed cartographic analysis of the map of Wallachia (Romania) published in 1788 by Ferdinand Joseph Ruhedorf, a cartographic product that has been relatively little discussed in the specialised literature, despite the wide circulation it appears to have enjoyed. Based on systematic georeferencing, cartometric analyses, and the construction of a geospatial database, the study evaluates the map's accuracy, internal geomet…
The Flooding of Lagash (Iraq)
High‐resolution remote sensing, magnetometry, and trench stratigraphy identify a significant flood event at Lagash (modern Tell al‐Hiba) during the late Early Dynastic period (ca. 2400–2350 BC ). Satellite imagery and magnetometry reveal a 90‐meter‐wide meander belt—3–15 times broader than documented canals—adjacent to primary temple districts. Test trenches further exposed over one meter of flood‐deposited silt covering existing architecture. Op…
Mapping the liquid territories of the Danube Delta (Romania)
Moving through liquid territories
We present an analysis of the Danube Delta (Romania) that is focused on the evolution and use of roads, so as to highlight the primacy of movement in spatialisation and the fluidity of roads themselves. We demonstrate that local inhabitants of the Danube Delta have relied on a network of roads for survival and have in the process fitted themselves to a deltaic space full of affordances that foreign observers have missed. Our objectives are achiev…
Marginal deltaic coasts in transition
Maintenance of large deltas through channelization
Fluvial landscapes of the Harappan civilization
The collapse of the Bronze Age Harappan, one of the earliest urban civilizations, remains an enigma. Urbanism flourished in the western region of the Indo-Gangetic Plain for approximately 600 y, but since approximately 3,900 y ago, the total settled area and settlement sizes declined, many sites were abandoned, and a significant shift in site numbers and density towards the east is recorded. We report morphologic and chronologic evidence indicati…
Democratic Musical Chairs? Romania's Post-1989 Electoral Geography
Romania is one of a number of states that experienced a rapid shift to representative democracy after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. In a well-known model of electoral developments in newly emerging democracies, Flint and Taylor have identified a characteristic volatility of support for political parties between elections because of their failure to meet popular expectations, which is accompanied by a volatile electoral geography. The exper…
