cave settlements (underground settlements, <settlements by location: topographical>, ... Built Environment (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Settlements that are located entirely or mostly in caves, usually having had development beginning with natural caves, which may have then been enlarged by excavation. For single dwellings or a relatively small number of structures in caves, use "cave architecture" or "rock-cut architecture." |
