	Describing the nature and meaning of artifact spatial\&nbsp;patterning can be highly subjective, yet many patterns\&nbsp;can be quantified to create general models that are\&nbsp;comparable across time periods and geographic space.\&nbsp;The authors employ various techniques in this endeavor,\&nbsp;including large sample sizes, model-driven analyses\&nbsp;of the ethnographic record, bone and lithic refitting,\&nbsp;and a careful consideration of artifact attributes that\&nbsp;elucidate spatial patterning. Such detailed analyses allow\&nbsp;archaeologists to better interpret site formation processes\&nbsp;and address large-scale anthropological questions.This volume includes studies that span archaeological\&nbsp;and ethnographic contexts, from highly mobile Paleoindian\&nbsp;foragers to semi-sedentary preagriculturalists of the Epipaleolithic\&nbsp;and modern pastoralists in Mongolia. The authors\&nbsp;hold that commonalities in human behavior lead to similar\&nbsp;patterns in the organization and maintenance of space by\&nbsp;people. They present a series of ideas and approaches to\&nbsp;make it easier to recognize universals in human behaviors,\&nbsp;which allow archaeologists to better compare intrasite\&nbsp;spatial patterns. The book creates a baseline for new\&nbsp;intrasite spatial analyses in the twenty-first century.
