Settlement models are here reconsidered on the basis of the dissimilar quality and quantity of data that is possible to acquire in different geomorphological contexts. Focus is given on the lowlands and highlands of present-day Khuzestan (ancient Elam/Elymais), which differ for their environment, climate, land-use potential and natural resources. The analysis of information collected during surveys and remote-sensing seems to show that models describe settlement patterns in the lowlands more effectively than in the highlands. In the latter context the quality and quantity of data to be processed is often unsatisfactory.

Abstract
Settlement models are here reconsidered on the basis of the dissimilar quality and quantity of data that is possible to acquire in different geomorphological contexts. Focus is given on the lowlands and highlands of present-day Khuzestan (ancient Elam/Elymais), which differ for their environment, climate, land-use potential and natural resources. The analysis of information collected during surveys and remote-sensing seems to show that models describe settlement patterns in the lowlands more effectively than in the highlands. In the latter context the quality and quantity of data to be processed is often unsatisfactory.
