TY - JOUR A1 - Girotto, Chiara G. M. T1 - Are we creating our past? T2 - Documenta Praehistorica N2 - Urnfield Culture hilltop settlements are often associated with a predominant function in the settlement pattern. This study challenged the idea of centrality by means of density estimates and spatial inhomogeneous explanatory statistics. Reflecting on the differences in spatial trends and material culture, no conclusive evidence for a consolidation of power, economic, or cultic dominance was observed. The dataset strongly points towards the inapplicability of commonly used parametric and/or homogenous spatial algorithms in archaeology. Tracer variables as well as the methodological and theoretical limitations are critically reviewed and a methodological framework to increase the reproducibility and reusability of archaeological research is proposed. N2 - Višinska naselja kulture žarnih grobišč pogosto povezujemo z vodilnim položajem v vzorcu poselitve. V pričujoči študiji izpodbijamo idejo o centralnosti z uporabo ocen gostote poselitve in prostorskih nehomogenih pojasnjevalnih statističnih podatkov. Pri opazovanju razlik v prostorskih usmeritvah in materialni kulturi nismo našli nobenega prepričljivega dokaza o utrjevanju moči ter o gospodarski ali kultni prevladi. Podatkovna baza kaže na neuporabnost parametričnih in/ali homogenih prostorskih algoritmov, ki se običajno uporabljajo v arheologiji. Nudimo kritičen razmislek o sledilnih spremenljivkah ter o metodoloških in teoretičnih omejitvah, hkrati pa ponudimo metodološki okvir, s pomočjo katerega lahko povečamo ponovljivost in ponovno uporabnost arheoloških raziskav.
