Abstract:
A gravity model is developed which predicts relative abundance of goods from each source at each site in the region. Application of this model to an ethnographic example (stone axes in New Guinea) suggests that the observed spatial patterning can be explained by the effects of alternative sources in the region. The model is then applied to the patterns of British stone axe distribution. The 'multiple sources gravity model' is offered as having wide utility in investigating prehistoric exchange systems.
