Proto-cities

Connected Sites: 4

"A proto-city is a large, dense Neolithic settlement that is largely distinguished from a city by its lack of planning and centralized rule.... The label of a proto-city is applied to Neolithic mega-sites that are large and population-dense for their time but lack most other characteristics that are found in later urban settlements such as those of the Mesopotamian city-states in the 4th Millennium B.C."
