Abstract: | The following article presents a new approach to the spatial and chemical analysis of residues left by the cycle of activities
that interweave specialized clay griddle production with other domestic tasks at two house lots located in the Mexican town
of Cuentepec, Morelos. Based upon multivariate spatial statistics and image analysis techniques, this analytical approach
allows for a more robust definition of activity areas across multiple data domains. These patterns, and the general approach
by which they were created, provide a framework for evaluating the potential of applying social theories in archaeology for
the interpretation of chemical residue analysis. |
