“…A la vez, como se puede observar en la figura 3, la totalidad de los fragmentos de cerámica identificados en este estrato revelaban su eje mayor paralelo al horizonte del suelo. Esto quiere decir que no hubo remoción de los desechos desde el lugar donde se depositaron originalmente (Sunyer et al 2014), el que correspondería a un piso casi horizontal con una pendiente de solo 0,66%.…”

Se presentan los resultados de la investigación arqueológica del sitio inka Palacio de la Real Aduana, ubicado en el centro histórico de la ciudad de Santiago, Chile. Por medio del análisis de su contexto, se interpreta la funcionalidad del asentamiento y el rol que cumplió dentro de la estrategia de dominación inka de la población Aconcagua. Así, se lo define como el centro político del extremo austral del Tawantinsuyu. Además, a partir del estudio de las características tipológicas e iconográficas de la fragmentería alfarera se propone el contexto ideológico de los ceremoniales políticos desarrollados en este lugar y la importancia de la población diaguita en este proceso.Palabras clave: Inka, Chile central, centro político, Diaguita, Kollasuyu.These are the results of an archaeological research of the Inka site Palacio de la Real Aduana, located in the historic center of Santiago, Chile. By means of contextual analysis, there is an interpretation of the functionality of this settlement and its role as part of a strategy of Inka domination of the Aconcagua people, which lead to defining this settlement as the political center of the Austral end of the Tawantinsuyu. In addition, the study of the typological and iconographic characteristics of the pottery fragment suggests a possible ideological context of the political ceremonies developed in this place and the importance of the diaguita population in this process.

The Early Upper Paleolithic Level 497D of Cova Gran (Pre‐Pyrenees, Spain) comprises large assemblages of lithics, fauna, hearths, ash accumulations and well‐preserved refitting sequences. This provides exceptional information to analyze spatial patterns and deepen our understanding of the socio‐economic behavior of these human groups. This large interdisciplinary dataset has allowed us to carry out a detailed spatial study based on density analysis, geostatistics, fabric analysis and orientation techniques, revealing a structuring of the activities performed within the rock shelter. The distribution and accumulation of lithic artifacts, fauna and refits, and their association with the 10 hearths and ash accumulations, show that different types of activities were developed at the site, as well as showing the different uses of the hearths. 497D is a palimpsest where several short‐term occupations and/or activities could have occurred in a relatively short period of time, avoiding prolonged exposure to biotic and abiotic post‐depositional factors that could have significantly disturbed this well‐preserved assemblage. This level shows a place visited several times in relation to the development of specific activities, with movements throughout the landscape for the exploitation of local and regional resources, and less so its use as a domestic space. This implies that the central settlement, or dwelling space, would have been located somewhere other than Cova Gran.

Spatial analysis studies in Palaeolithic archaeology arise as indispensable research tools for understanding archaeopalaeontological sites. In general terms, spatial studies have been specialised in the description of the distribution of materials and in the definition of accumulation areas, with the aim of distinguishing intentional activities or studying postdepositional processes. In recent decades, the development of GIS tools has enabled huge strides forward in the field of spatial archaeology research, such as spatial inferential statistics. These tools are particularly useful in the identification and location of clustering from statistical criteria, facilitating the subsequent analysis of accumulations through other archaeological, taphonomic and spatial techniques, such as fabric analysis or directional distribution. The cluster analysis, and its contextualisation considering all the archaeological and stratigraphical variables, allows the inference of some of the processes and factors that could have taken part in the accumulation of materials, as well as assessing how this affected the composition and preservation of the archaeological assemblage. The present article reviews the more traditional and innovative methods for studying horizontal distribution patterns and the objective definition of clusters, highlighting the parameters, uses and limitations of these techniques. We present an application of these methods to different Palaeolithic sites, going through different scenarios, such as location (open-air vs. cave), context, scale (large vs. small area), excavation methodology and spatial record methods.
