Abstract
DATA AMASSED during the recent excavation of an early medieval settlement in the Canton of Jura, Switzerland, offered the rare opportunity of conducting an in-depth intrasite spatial analysis of an entire hamlet. Some of the problems encountered and a selection of the results produced during this research are presented. The focus is primarily on methodological issues: data loss during mechanical excavation; the choice between statistical or visual analysis; and distinguishing the effects of taphonomy from patterning due to cultural activities.
