人类行为的空间推论对地理学家和考古学家都非常重要。其中一些推论可以用点图来表示，为了客观地描述它们，采用生态学家发明的最近邻分析技术已经成为一种常见的方法。但最近的研究表明，“低估”是该技术的一个固有缺陷。因此，首先，本文的注意力集中在消除这个问题，通过修改传统的公式。随着缺陷的纠正，最近邻统计的解释周围的问题进行了讨论，并审查了特殊困难的技术应用于考古数据。
Human behavior has spatial corollaries of great importance to both geographers and archaeologists. Some of these corollaries can be expressed as point maps, and to describe them objectively it has become common-place to employ the nearest-neighbor analysis technique devised by ecologists. But recently it has been shown that "underestimation" is an inherent flaw of the technique. Initially, therefore, the attention of this paper focuses on elimination of this problem by modifying the traditional formulae. With the flaw corrected, the issues surrounding interpretation of the nearest-neighbor statistic are discussed, and a review is made of the special difficulties of applying the technique to archaeological data.
