Investigations of archaeological intrasite spatial patterns have
generally taken one of two directions: studies that introduced and
explored methods for the analysis of archaeological spatial
patterns or those that described and analyzed the for mation of
spatial patterns in actuaiistic-ethnographic, experimental, or natu
ral-contexts. The archaeological studies were largely quantitative
in nature, concerned with the recognition and definition of
patterns; the actualistic efforts were often oriented more toward
interpretation, dealing with how patterns formed and what they
meant. Our research group on archaeological spatial analysis at the
University of Wisconsin-Madison has been working for several years
on both quantitative and interpretive problems. Both lines of
investigation are closely related and are important complements. In
order to demonstrate the convergence of archaeological and
actualistic studies for the understanding of intrasite spatial
patterns, we organized a sympo sium at the 52nd Annual Meeting of
the Society of American Archaeology in Toronto, Canada, in May
1987. The symposium, titled "The Interpretation of Stone Age
Archaeological Spatial Patterns," was organized into two sessions.
The six papers presented in the morning session, five of which
comprise Part I of this volume, focused on ethnoarchaeological and
experimental research. Michael Schiffer was the discussant for this
half of the symposium. Our intention for the ethnoarchaeological
contributions to the symposium and volume was the delin eation of
some of the significant accomplishments achieved thus far by
actualistic studies regarding the formation of spatial patterns."
