Analysis of the fluvial delta evolution in Chilia Levee area by correlating archaeological study with remote sensing data

Journal Title: Scientific Annals of the Danube Delta Institute - Year 2016, Vol 22, Issue

Abstract

Within this paper the evolution of the area around the Chilia Levee was studied, using the information obtained by studying the evolution of the natural environment and human settlements in the entire area bounded by the branches Chilia and Sulina on the north and south, as well as by Letea sand bank on east and Ceatalul Izmail on west. Based on archaeological studies made on the Danube Delta an interesting correlation between the data related to soils type distribution and the traces of settlements were found. The study of the area around the Chilia Levee highlighted interesting aspects related to the evolution of the Chilia Delta in its whole.
