unknown Based on the size of the settlement and the number of households, it is possible to estimate the largest populations in this period. Based on the calculations, it can be said that Can Hasan was populated by about 2564-3846 people during the Middle and Late Chalcolithic period. We should be aware that not necessarily the whole area was occupied at this time. |

People. According to Mortensen early villages may have clustered together, "each group widely separated from the next." Examples in Susiana: Chogha Bonut, Boneh Favili, and Chogha Mish. Why? "it would have been difficult for the inhabitants of a village of one hundred or so persons to supply marriable pairs continually; thus marriage partners must have been supplied from outside. Among people today who live at low density, the figure of five hundred comes up as the minimum size necessary to maintain a viable social system. (Birdsell 1973:337-38; Wobst 1974)."
