Description

Most people recognise that their patterns of personal behaviour are defined and restricted by their living space. It is, therefore, highly likely that, as the human race evolved from its earliest form as hunters and gatherers, living together in groups in caves or open-air sites, to the urban, industrialised communities of today, changes in human space have had a profound effect on human behaviour patterns. This volume is devoted to a study of archaeological and statistical methods for discovering patterned behaviour as it relates to intrasite data. The individual contributions cover a broad spectrum of theoretical and methodological perspectives and present a range of applications from investigations of early hominid activity at Olduvai Gorge, simple and complex village societies, and the Mesoamerican metropolis of Teotihucan to a medieval Turkish fortress and modern Aboriginal sites in Australia
