Abstract
Archaeological properties – pomor (coast-dweller) sites of XVI–XVIII centuries, researched in 2005 on Svalbard Archipelago, are situated on various heights. It is suggested that primary these settlements were situated abroad the zone of storm danger, in favorable for boats touch-land places, and it was not long-distance from this places to dwellings and house-hold buildings. Practically it is meaning that optimized heights for pomor sites are 2–5 m above sea level. Due to vertical movements of archipelago’s separate parts much of archaeological properties have anomalous altitude (low or high) relative to present ocean level. That’s why some of pomor habit areas were resumed during period of pomor crafts, other were uncouth or relocated. Comparison of present day properties height with optimized one make it possible to evaluate raise and sinking of exact coastal parts from the time of these properties building, and it’s give an idea of velocity, direction and range of vertical movements of tectonic block masses not able to consider as a lithospheric unit piece within archipelago. Due to height properties situation the South part of archipelago is settle down and North part feel rise.
