Abstract
Prehistoric spatial data recovered from the John Martin Dam and Reservoir, Bent County, southeastern Colorado, was obtained from sites of the Archaic, Formative, and Buffalo Hunter stages of High Plains archaeology. These data, most of which dates to the last 3000 years, were analyzed in order to address four problem areas: (1) site function, (2) site-to-site networking, (3) past adaptive practices, and (4) evolutionary trends in the data. These problem domains were examined using such cluster and correlation statistics as: (1) an original Nearest Neighbor (NN) routine, (2) Z-coordinate cluster mapping, and (3) two computer program packages called NTSYS and SPSS.Keywords
