On the Use of Computers in Processing Settlement Pattern Data from Iroquoian Sites

William D. Finlayson

Abstract

In 1975, salvage excavations were carried out at the Draper site, a 15th century Huron village site near Toronto, Ontario. This resulted in the investigation of more than five acres of the site. All settlement pattern data is being processed by computer. This paper summarizes the nature and potential of the computer-based system which has been developed.
