摘要在这篇文章中，我们探讨了空间邻近性和社会连接指数之间的关系，在公元1200-1450年的时间间隔在美国（美国）。西南使用地理信息系统（GIS），我们开发的基础上，在区域定居点和物质文化数据库集中在美国西部的网站之间的地形调整成本距离的空间接近指数西南。我们评估的假设，社会互动是一个功能的接近和互动将是最激烈的近邻之间。我们发现，这一假设在某些情况下是支持的，但接近和互动之间的相关性是高度可变的背景下，后期接触前的社会动荡。此外，我们显示了重要的普韦布洛北部和霍霍坎南部之间的差异，有助于解释在这两个地区的社区可持续性的差异。
Abstract In this article we explore the relationship between spatial proximity and indices of social connectivity during the A.D. 1200–1450 interval in the United States (U.S.) Southwest. Using geographic information systems (GIS), we develop indices of spatial proximity based on the terrain-adjusted cost distance between sites in a regional settlement and material cultural database focused on the western U.S. Southwest. We evaluate the hypothesis that social interaction is a function of proximity and that interactions will be most intense among near neighbors. We find that this hypothesis is supported in some instances but that the correlation between proximity and interaction is highly variable in the context of late precontact social upheaval. Furthermore, we show important discrepancies between the Puebloan north and the Hohokam south that help to explain differences in community sustainability in the two regions.
