ABSTRACT

Intrasite spatial analysis in archaeology has traditionally been focused on those sites or levels within them that are most amenable to analysis as if they occupied only a horizontal plane (Whallon 1973; Whallon 1974; Whallon 1984; Koetje 1987a; Koetje 1987b; Simek 1984b; Koetje 1989; see also numerous examples in Hietala 1984). Once a site or level has been chosen, vertical patterning within a single level has most frequently been ignored or defined away.
