What could you learn by comparing the relative locations of archaeological sites?

An archaeological site is a zone where there is a concentration of archaeological rests (material, structural, and environmental rests). These are rests of human activities of the past and it is constituted by the presence of ancient human artifacts, structural elements, soil occupation, and other anomalies.
