SETTLEMENT GAZETTEER OF DAGESTAN.
Figure 1. Elevation zones, river basins, and settlements of Dagestan included in the settlement gazetteer (10000BC - 1900AD).

Introduction ​

This supplementary report presents the settlement population gazetteer (dagestan_settlements.json) accompanying the regional literature review of Dagestan (10000BC - 1900AD). The JSON file follows the standard population_Stadester format, indexing 126 settlements across the Republic of Dagestan by <Name>-Russia with alternate and Cyrillic names (other_names), decimal coordinates (coords), and chronological population estimates (population) for inhabited benchmark years.

Prehistoric, Bronze Age, and Classical estimates are derived from excavated settlement areas and dwelling counts [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Medieval and early modern figures draw on epigraphic chronicles, Posolskiy Prikaz embassies, and jamaat household lists [7][8][9][10][11], while 19th-century and 1897 figures come from the 1886 family lists (posemeynye spiski) and the First All-Russian Imperial Census [12][13][14][15].
