a transitioning process that sees a nomadic population being placed into more permanent registrable settlements
(Arkeoloji) In evolutionary anthropology, sedentism is a term applied to the cultural transition from nomadic to permanent, year-round settlement. Initially during this transition, populations were still semi-nomadic hunter-gatherers with a primary homebase used for part of the year that was sedentary. This shift is coupled with the adoption of new subsistence strategies, specifically from foraging (hunter-gatherer) to agricultural and animal domestication. The development of sedentism led to the rise of population aggregation and formation of villages, cities, and other community types
