The fact that their areas are usually not formed powerful cultural layer. The fact that the surface of these settlements are regularly cleans up by the people themselves, dumped garbage from the slope. This is understandable. The fact that the rock surface was used to collect water. The hardest thing to learn cult cave complexes. The fact that they practically do not accumulate deposits.
