The method allows the study of archaeological formation, modification and transformation processes. Our main goal has been to build a computer model of middensite formation processes. The main purpose of these models is converting excavation data to visual elements (lines, surfaces, and solids) which can be used as a representation of that data. Furthermore, geostatistics and other quantitative spatial analysis methods are also discussed to characterize the processes having generated the spatial distribution of archaeological data. %U https://aa.uwpress.org/content/wpaa/46/1-2/202.full.pdf
