Sažetak
The lecture displayed the analysis of an iceberg of scientific research on the earliest American prehistoric settlements of the Southeast, scoped through the planner's point of view, rather than archeological or anthropological one. Numerous types and sizes of settlements were discovered searching and evaluating existing archeological and anthropological data which were compared with the author's personal observation and experience while visiting some of the existing locations. Despite the fact that these cultures had no written or mathematical skills, the research shows the astonishingly high level in planning and design of settlements and earth structures, which in most cases was related to observation of astronomical phenomena.
