Location Theory in Geography and Archaeology
Abstract
Locational analysis of the seventies is marked by expressions of disillusionment and criticism of the "quantitative revolution" of the sixties. "Especially so in the writing and work of some of those who were formerly quite active in the promotion of the spatial analysis theme and quantitative approaches" (King 1969:155). Despite the fact that those writing provide the main source of inspiration for archaeological locational analysis, critical geography of the seventies is utterly ignored in the archaeological literature. Thus, the aims of this paper are to present the geographical criticism of locational analysis and theory, to consider the archaeological implications and to suggest a possible synthesis of location theory in geography and archaeology.References
