区域研究在人类学中越来越重要。继续需要扩大空间和时间框架,以便研究人类行为的许多方面(2,9)。人们普遍接受聚落格局调查作为一种考古研究策略(11),这就产生了对适合区域数据的新理论和分析方法的需求。最近出版的由史密斯编辑的两卷本《人类学区域分析》(141)和由霍德和奥顿编辑的《考古学空间分析》(65)反映了这种需求。关于区域分析的文献远比我希望在这里回顾的要广泛得多。因此,我选择了一系列非常有限的题目进行更深入的讨论。我将试图说明主要由地理学家开发的概念对考古研究的潜在重要性,同时尽量减少对各种空间行为模型效用的空洞断言。这篇综述分为三个部分,分析的规模越来越大。第一部分简要地考虑了人类决策的备选模型作为空间行为模型的基础。第二部分回顾了群体或人口空间相互作用的模型。第三部分考虑了区域互动系统的发展和运作方面。
Regional studies are of growing importance in anthropology. There is a continuing need for expansion of spatial and temporal frameworks for the study of many aspects of human behavior (2, 9). The general acceptance of settlement pattern survey as an archaeological research strategy (1 1) has created a demand for both new theory and analytical methodology appropriate to regional data. The recent publication of a two-volume work on RegionalAnalysis in anthropology edited by Smith (141) and of a volume on SpatialAnalysis in Archaeology by Hodder & Orton (65) reflects this demand.The literature on regional analysis is far more extensive than I could hope to review here. I have, therefore, selected a sharply limited series of topics for more intensive discussion. I will attempt to illustrate the potential importance to archaeological research of concepts developed primarily by geographers, while keeping bald assertions of the utility of various models of spatial behavior to a minimum. This review is organized in three sections of increasing scale of analysis. The first section briefly considers alternative models of human decision-making as the bases of models of spatial behavior. The second section reviews a model of the spatial interaction of groups or populations. The third section considers aspects of the development and operation of regional interaction systems.
