The Utilization of Space of a Residential Sector at the Village Site of Murcielago, Costa Rica

Abstract

Anthropological research of discard and disposal behavior
has been a topic of scholarly pursuit since the early 1970's.
Depositional behavior, first defined and described by Schiffer
(1972, 1975; Schiffer and Rathje 1973), has been the focus of
various ethnoarchaeological (Binford 1976; '(ellen 1977; Lange and
Rydberg 1972; Hayden and Cannon 1982) arid modern material culture
(Rathie 1974, 1979) studies, but is seldom approached from an
archaeological perspective.
