Spatial association in archaeology. Development of statistical methodologies and computer techniques for spatial association of surface, lattice and point processes, applied to prehistoric evidence in North Yorkshire and to the Heslerton Romano-British site.

The thesis investigates the concepts of archaeological spatial
association within the context of both site and regional data sets.
The techniques of geophysical surveying, surface distribution
collection and aerial photography are described and discussed.
Several new developments of technique are presented as well as a
detailed discussion of the problems of data presentation and
analysis.
The quantitative relationships between these data sets are
explored by modelling them as operands and describing association in
terms of operators. Both local and global measures of association
are considered with a discussion as to their relative merits.
Methods for the spatial association of regional lattice and point
processes are developed. A detailed discussion of distance based
spatial analysis techniques is presented.
