a preferential organization, both in space and in seasonal cycle, of technical activities.Moreover, spatial analysis of those data allows us to study household dynamics andgender interactions. Que s’est-il passé à cet endroit ? Percevoir les stratégies économiqueset les relations sociales au-delà des données tracéologiques. - La détermination de lafonction des outils, par l’analyse tracéologique, ne constitue pas une fin en soi.L’interprétation des données fonctionnelles doit impérativement permettre d’aborder ladimension des choix techniques et culturels et, dans une perspective plus large, lesstratégies socioéconomiques des peuples de chasseurs-cueilleurs étudiés. Or, le recours àl’ethnoarchéologie et à certains concepts anthropologiques est nécessaire à l’atteinte decet objectif. Il sera démontré que grâce à l’obtention de sous-catégories fonctionnelles(analyse des traces d’utilisation à fort grossissement) à partir de catégories typologiquesclassiques, il est possible d’observer une organisation préférentielle, tant dans l’espacequ’au cours du cycle saisonnier d’exploitation des ressources, des activités techniques. Deplus, l’analyse du mode de répartition spatiale de ces données permet l’étude de lamicroéconomie domestique ainsi que des relations entre les genres.Dorland, Steven (University of Toronto) The Inside is What Counts: an analysis ofregional identity associated with interior and exterior pottery decoration (4) Recently,there has been a shift to recognize regional variation associated with pre-contact southernOntario, demonstrable through environmental, social and ideational contexts. This paperfocusses on regional strategies associated with Late Woodland pottery decoration. Twosite assemblages dating roughly to the 13 th and 14 th century A.D. respectively, wereanalyzed during this study; the Holly site in Simcoe County, and the Antrex site in themunicipality of Peel. My analysis led me to identify stylistic relations present amongvariables located on varying sections of the vessel. By applying a multi-attribute analysis,my research demonstrated the Antrex site has the same decoration on the interior and necksections of the vessel, roughly three times more than what was apparent among the Hollyassemblage. The results indicate possible regional variation relating to alternate strategiesfor actively displaying group identity, at a time when considerable social change wasoccurring in the area.Downey, Jordan and Jean-François Millaire (The University of Western Ontario)Satellite Imagery and the Development of the Virú State on the North Coast of Peru (1)Satellite remote sensing has become a standard aspect of archaeological inquiry in the lastdecade thanks to the widespread availability of low-cost satellite data and powerfulanalytical computer software. A particular strength of digital satellite imagery is its readyintegration into GIS platforms, which has been made all the more seamless with the recentarrival of ArcGIS 10. Through this and other platforms, high-resolution satellite imageryis available for the coast of Peru yet few studies have made use of its potential forstudying the socio-political organization of ancient Andean societies. In this paper, we usesatellite imagery to explore the development of centralized polities in the Virú Valleyduring the first half of the Early Intermediate Period, a time that witnessed extensiveremodelling of the landscape in conjunction with the development of the Virú statearound 150 B.C.Doyon, Luc (Université de Montréal) Droulers 3.0 – Les SIG et le patrimoine du Haut-Laurent (5) Les systèmes d'information géographique constituent des outils permettant la
