Village
A village is a human settlement or community, larger than a hamlet but smaller than a town with a population typically ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand. Although villages are often located in rural areas, the term urban village is also applied to certain urban neighborhoods. Villages are normally permanent, with fixed dwellings; however, transient villages can occur. Further, the dwellings of a village are fairly close to one another, not scattered broadly over the landscape, as a dispersed settlement. In the past, villages were a usual form of community for societies that practice subsistence agriculture and also for some non-agricultural societies. In Great Britain, a hamlet earned the right to be called a village when it built a church.-4; we might wonder whether there's a point at which it's appropriate to talk of the beginnings of French, that is, when it wa ...

Iron Age
The Iron Age () is the final epoch of the three historical Metal Ages, after the Chalcolithic and Bronze Age. It has also been considered as the final age of the three-age division starting with prehistory (before recorded history) and progressing to protohistory (before written history). In this usage, it is preceded by the Stone Age (subdivided into the Paleolithic, Mesolithic and Neolithic) and Bronze Age. These concepts originated for describing Iron Age Europe and the ancient Near East. In the archaeology of the Americas, a five-period system is conventionally used instead; indigenous cultures there did not develop an iron economy in the pre-Columbian era, though some did work copper and bronze. Indigenous metalworking arrived in Australia with European contact. Although meteoric iron has been used for millennia in many regions, the beginning of the Iron Age is defined locally around the world by archaeological convention when the production of Smelting, smelted iron (espe ...

Grad (Slavic Settlement)
A gord is a Middle Ages, medieval Early Slavs, Slavonic fortified settlement, usually built on strategic sites such as hilltops, riverbanks, lake islets or peninsulas between the 6th and 12th centuries in Central Europe, Central and Eastern Europe. A typical gord consisted of a group of wooden houses surrounded by a wall made of earth and wood, and a palisade running along the top of the bulwark. Etymology The term ultimately descends from the reconstructed Proto-Indo-European root ''wikt:Reconstruction:Proto-Indo-European/ǵʰortós, ǵʰortós'' 'enclosure'. The Proto-Slavic word ''*gordъ'' later differentiated into grad (Cyrillic script, Cyrillic: град), gorod (Cyrillic: город), gród in Polish language, Polish, gard in Kashubian language, Kashubian, etc. It is the root of various words in modern Slavic languages pertaining to fences and fenced-in areas (Belarusian гарадзіць, Ukrainian городити, Slovak ohradiť, Czech ohradit, Russian огра ...

Iška
The Iška () is a river of central Slovenia. Part of the river valley—the Iška Gorge or Iška Canyon ()—separates Lower Carniola from Inner Carniola. The river is long. After flowing past Strahomer, the river follows an almost straight line and joins the Ljubljanica River, and therefore belongs to the Sava and Black Sea basins. Name The name ''Iška'' developed from the denominal adjective ''*Ižьska(ja) (voda)'' 'Ig (Creek)', derived from the toponym '' Ig'', which was a regional name during the Middle Ages. The etymology of the name ''Ig'' is uncertain. It may be connected with the Slovene common noun ''igo'' 'yoke' (referring to the course of the river) or to the Slovene common noun ''iva'' ' goat willow' (through borrowing into and then from German), or it may derive from a pre-Slavic substratum. History The part of the river between Iška Vas and Strahomer disappeared underground during the 2010 Slovenia floods The 2010 Slovenia floods, on the weekend of 17–19 ...
