	The Eilat Region
		Eilat, the southernmost city of Israel, is located on the northern shore of the Red Sea.
		Small settlements with planned stone dwellings and stone-lined grain silos dug into the ground were uncovered throughout the valley.
		Harvesting of the grain was done with sickles of bone or wood, into which toothed flint blades had been inserted; the grain was ground on grindstones, many of which were found in the dwellings.

	Reports Submitted to FAMSI - Oswaldo Chinchilla - Archaeological Research at Cotzumalhuapa, Guatemala
		A precise delimitation of the ancient settlements is hindered by the growth of modern urban developments in the archaeological area.
		This is especially true for the southernmost part of the Nuclear Zone, where the modern city of Santa Lucía Cotzumalhuapa has grown to the very edge of the monumental structures at Bilbao.
		Settlements also extend west towards river Cristóbal, but the density seems to be smaller.

		Settlement expansion is the main motive behind the route chosen for the separation barrier in the West Bank, an Israeli human rights group and NGO have found.
		Another 50 smaller towns and villages, with a total population of 244,000, will also be surrounded by the barrier on at least three sides as is the case with the town of Qalqilya in the north-western part of the West Bank.
		Moreover, the authors of the study accused Israeli officials of deliberately using "evasive and vague language" with regard to the barrier.

		In all of those cases, the settlements are anchored by one or more very large settlements; they are located in relatively close proximity to one another; they share major infrastructure; the social/economic lives of the settlers and settlements are intertwined; and the cluster of settlements represents a large settler population.
		The settlements do not share infrastructure other than the main road that passes through that entire stretch of the West Bank, the social/economic lives of the settlers are only minimally intertwined, and the settlements do not represent a large settler population, even when taken as a group.
		This means that land not defined as belonging to a specific settlement is still under the control of the settlements regional council (and off-limits to the Palestinian), and in some cases is actively farmed by settlers.

	Torngat Mountains
		The Laurentide Ice Sheet, centered far to the west, covered all but the highest summits at least once, although during the last glaciation ice cover was limited and many NUNATAKS provided refuge for arctic and alpine flora and fauna.
		Over 70 small, active glaciers survive in the Torngat, shaded in deep cirques and sustained by the southernmost extension of arctic climate.
		The closest settlements are NAIN, 200 km south and KANGIQSUALUJJUAQ, 100 km west.

		With financial support from the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) and in cooperation with the International Organization for Migration (IOM Armenia) the NGO Meghri-1 is implementing a pilot project aimed at revitalizing the village of Shvanidzor and restoring its potable and irrigation water systems.
		The village of Shvanidzor in the Meghri region of the Syunik Marz is one of the southernmost Armenian settlements, bordering Iran and lying at a distance of 400 kilometers from Yerevan.
		Over the last century they have lost their significance in parallel with the development of engineering, but as time goes on, they are once again being appreciated as people have begun to realize that these structures are eternal, they function uninterruptedly, without requiring expenditure and investment.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Lule Indians
		They were of the stock of the Calchaqui, the southernmost tributaries of the historic Quichua of Peru, from whom they had absorbed a high degree of aboriginal culture.
		By the Jesuit missionary Alonso Bárcena (or Barzana) the Lulé (Cacana) were gathered, in 1589, into a mission settlement on the Salado, near the Spanish town of Salavera or Esteco.
		In consequence of the ceaseless inroads of the wild Chaco tribes upon the Spanish settlements, Governor Urizar, about the year 1710, led against them a strong expedition from Tucuman which for a time brought to submission those savages who were unable to escape beyond his reach.

		Slash-and-burn agriculture and logging activities that destroy the native forest, the clearing of jungle for livestock to graze, and fishing of endangered species are problems created by the new human settlements, which are growing in number despite the creation of a number of negotiating commissions, military patrols, and innumerable government promises.
		But the emergence of human settlements and the consequent destruction is driving the Lacandona jungle to its death, warn studies by the Autonomous National University of Mexico.
		But the creation of human settlements in the jungle is just one aspect of a complex social situation in Chiapas, which requires special efforts that the Fox administration does not appear to be making, said Trejo.

	San Pedro Valley Classic Period - cdarc.org
		The San Manuel District was comprised of six mound villages and associated settlements dispersed along a 22-mile stretch of the river from Leaverton Mesa to Second Canyon, the southern-most platform mound in the valley.
		Kayenta/Tusayan settlements can be distinguished from local and other migrant settlements by the presence of perforated plates, Maverick Mountain series pottery, kivas, and unique elements of domestic architecture that have their origins in northeast Arizona.
		These two settlements anchor the district flanks on the eastern side of the river, protecting the less-defensible central mound settlements from both the migrants in the Cascabel district and local groups in the Aravaipa district.

		These two settlements, Kaskaskia and Cahokia, along with that of Vincennes on the Wabash River, comprised the southernmost tier of British settlements to the north of the Ohio River.
		Because of the growing trade between Indians and European settlers and the status of the river settlements as regional trading centers, control of these settlements laid the foundation for a coordinated approach to negotiating with the many bands of Indians that populated the region.
		Most of the European settlements in the American west were a hodgepodge of French, British, and American traders and farmers and had come under the control of the British military at the end of the Seven Years' War in 1763.

		For small settlements this kind of intervention is not disastrous, yet it implies that services may be extended into areas that are unsuitable for occupation.
		The most common current practice for creating irregular settlements involves the occupation of a parcel of land through a complex series of commercial transactions involving the landowner, the developer or land subdivider, and often the future occupants.

	Withdrawl of Fort Ross Chapel: National Historic Landmarks Program (NHL)
		Fort Ross, founded in 1812 by the Russian-American Company, was primarily a commercial settlement; sea otters were trapped for their pelts and farming was undertaken here to support Russian colonies in Alaska.
		The Russian-American Company became the undisputed master of Russian commercial activities and settlements in North America in 1799, however, when it was sanctioned by a charter from the Tzar.
		The agricultural output of the settlement was poor; stock-raising was attempted but not as successful as hoped; and the population of sea otters had been depleted.

	Indians, Missionaries, and Merchants: CHAPTER ONE
		In establishing the Ross settlement in 1812, on the rugged coastline 110 kilometers north of the Spanish Presidio of San Francisco, the Russians created the administrative and mercantile center of the Ross colonial district (or counter).
		Many missionary settlements were designed to be self-sufficient, with natives serving as a communal work force for constructing the mission infrastructure (e.g., churches, residential buildings, agricultural features), for raising their own food (through agriculture, gardening, and ranching), and for manufacturing their own household objects, clothing, and craft goods.
		Where traditional native settlement patterns were dispersed and/or residentially mobile, such as among hunter-gatherer communities in Texas and California, missionaries commonly removed natives from settlements in the hinterland for relocation into centrally placed missions.

		Puerto Williams is the southernmost town in the world, though it functions primarily as a naval base with a population of less than 2,500 residents.
		The town occupies the northern shore of Isla Navarino in the Beagle Channel, an altogether enchanting location framed by towering granite needles called the "Teeth of Navarino." As a destination, it is surpassed by its Argentine neighbor Ushuaia and its burgeoning tourism infrastructure.
		Argentines, in fact, like to say that Ushuaia is the southernmost city in the world, but then Argentines make a lot of false claims in Patagonia, such as ownership of the Southern Ice Field (the majority lies in Chile).
