This paper describes an intensive survey of the Luano stream drainage located near Chingola, Zambia. Deforestation combined with cultivation of this area allowed a complete picture of settlement sizes and distributions from the Middle Stone Age through the Iron Age to be discovered. Models of Stone and Iron Age site location strategies are developed and compared to the settlement pattern observed at Luano. Site location decisions were found to be identical in the Late Stone Age and Early and Middle Iron Ages, suggesting a possible source of conflict between early agriculturalists and hunter‐gatherers. Iron Age communities became larger over time but split into smaller hamlets after AD 1500. Possible economic and social causes of this fission are discussed
