考古学提供了一个独特的机会来探索人类创造，生活和改变他们的社区的方式。最近的研究表明，考古学家构思社区的方式存在重要的理论差异，并且有必要进一步发展非传统理论模型，以提高我们理解过去社区的能力。这项研究提供了一个重新思考的社区，重点是将多个空间尺度与社会动态。通过民族志和民族历史的例子，社区和空间关系之间的联系，在长屋使用部落社会进行检查。从北美中部大陆的Oneota传统的社区的案例研究，然后重新考虑使用的洞察到各种社区位于和影响多个空间尺度。重新分析强调了在多种社会背景下的人际关系如何创造了大量的空间定位的社区联系，并说明了使用替代理论方法的重要性。
Archaeology offers a unique opportunity to explore the ways humans have created, lived within, and changed their communities. Recent research indicates important theoretical distinctions in the way in which archaeologists conceive of community, and further development of nontraditional theoretical models is necessary to improve our ability to understand communities of the past. This study offers a reconsideration of community that focuses on the incorporation of multiple spatial scales with social dynamics. Through the use of ethnographic and ethnohistoric examples, the link between community and spatial relationships in longhouse-using tribal societies is examined. A case study of community from the Oneota tradition of the North American midcontinent is then reconsidered using insights into kinds of community situated at and affecting multiple spatial scales. The reanalysis emphasizes the way human relationships in multiple social contexts created a multitude of spatially situated community links, and illustrates the importance of using alternative theoretical approaches.
