Abstract
In response to imminent annexation, 44 km2of the lower Simons Valley was subjected to foot survey. The resulting data were used to develop a predictive model for foothills site location, using physiographic zones as the independent variable. Statistical testing shows that the size of the site is related to the physiographic zone it occupies. For habitation sites, it is hypothesized that this variation in size and placement reflects summer and winter occupations, with large summer-winter sites located on low river terraces and congregating in the southern (sheltered) portion of the survey area, while smaller summer sites are spread throughout the survey area. Although no significant relationship was discovered between site type, site size, and the distance of the site from permanent water, the density of the total number of sites was related to this variable.
